IMPACTS

• Lightning strikes are a major risk during this period, all areas have a potential risk for lightning strikes.
• The atmosphere is conducive to localized hailstorms and strong winds.

ACTIONS TO TAKE

• If caught in the open, please avoid sheltering under isolated trees or in isolated sheds as these tend to be natural lightning conductors.
• When a thunderstorm threatens, get inside a home or large building,
• Even when lightning is seen in a distance, it might not be safe to be outdoors. The rough rule of noting the safe zone when you see lightning is the 30-30 Rule: If you see lightning and cannot count up to 30 seconds before you hear thunder, then you are not safe from the next lightning strike.
• Please secure roof tops and any loose objects that might be blown away by the wind.
• In case of hailstorms, please be indoors during thunderstorms.
• Where possible, install lightning conductors on buildings.
