Lightning can heat the air around it, to 50,000°F (27,760°C) which is 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.

"If an object is a good conductor of electricity, it won't heat up as much as a poor conductor. Air is a very poor conductor of electricity and gets extremely hot when lightning passes through it. In fact, lightning can heat the air it passes through to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5 times hotter than the surface of the sun)."
