A single stroke of lightning carries millions of volts of electricity and heats the air to about five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
• if this is so,then why can't we
harness to produce warmth for us
in winter ?

Answer:
Okay so that's a good question
Explanation:
But to harness the power or warmth from the lighting first you must know where is going to strike which is quiet unpredictable.
Lets just say you now can predict the location, now the problem is that only 20 -25 % of total lightning bolts strike the ground. The rest 80% is in clouds and can't be harnessed!
Another problem we may face is the conversion of such high voltage to low voltage.
And moreover the heat that you referred to about is true but that heat stays for only a fraction of seconds which makes it a real difficult task to harness.
Maybe someday in the future we will have the technology to do so
