An analysis is performed on the heating of electrons in the lower ionosphere due to the electromagnetic radiation from vertical and horizontal lightning discharges. Disturbances of the electron temperature in the daytime ionosphere may exceed 50¿ K for vertical strokes and 100¿ K for horizontal lightning discharges. The association of this analysis to some other related phenomena, is finally discussed. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
