IMPACTS
• Thunder and Lightning may affect your plans, please plan with the weather in mind.
• Lightning may still strike from a distant cloud, even when the sky overhead is clear.
• Localized heavy rains remain a potential, these may result in flash flooding in areas with poor drainage or impervious surfaces.
• Some local dams have filled, any excess rainwater may lead to over-spilling and downstream flooding.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
• When thunder roars, it is best to be indoors. If outdoors please find shelter immediately; do not shelter under trees or in the isolated shed.
• Do not ride at the back of an open truck or a tractor during a storm.
• Do not cross flooded rivers and swollen streams whether on foot or in a vehicle as just 30cm of flowing water is enough to sweep away a vehicle.
• Avoid driving on a road covered by water especially at night or during downpours when it is more difficult to recognize flood dangers. Even if no heavy rains have occurred in your area, they may have occurred upstream
• Be Weather-ready; always plan with the weather in mind.
