IMPACTS
- Temperature fluctuations may affect the health of vulnerable members of society.

- Lightning is a major threat during this part of the year, being inherent in thundershowers.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
- Ensure that vulnerable members of society are kept warm, especially toward evening.
- Avoid crossing rivers or streams of unknown depth; even if it has not rained heavily in the area, it might have done so upstream. 30cm depth of fast-flowing water can sweep away large vehicles.
- Heavy rains may reduce visibility; if driving, please find somewhere safe to park till the rains subside.
- When thunder roars, go indoors. Where possible, stay indoors during thunderstorms.
- Avoid contact with water or metal objects including farming equipment when lightning is visible, even from a distance. Umbrellas are not safe during storms, raincoats are better, best is to be indoors.
- Plan with the weather in mind. Be weather-wise!
