• There is heightened risk for lightning strikes
• Flooded rivers remain a potential hazard: even if it has not rained heavily in the area, heavy rains may have occurred upstream. Flash flooding may occtr especially in wetlands and near river plains.
• Heavy downpours may reduce visibility and flood dangers become difficult to perceive during heavy rains

ACTIONS TO TAKE

• The sunny morning skies may allow a few outdoor activities such as weeding, applying fertilizers or even hanging laundry, but remember: when Thunder Roars, it is best to be indoors!
• Try to avoid isolated sited, trees, and even the kitchen area especially in rural setting. These are usually prone to lightning strikes. Stay Weather-Ready and Environment-Safe.
• Avoid crossing flooded rivers and swollen streams whether on foot or in a vehicle.
• Keep away from metal equipment and pipes, as these are prone to lightning strikes.
• Do not ride at the back of an open truck or drive a tractor during a storm,
• Avoid driving when visibility is poor, more so at night and during heavy rains (fortunately, curfew hours cover the bulk of this period under current lockdown measures.)
• Ensure rooftops are strongly secured and intact as the potential of wind gust is high.
