This morning, temperatures were in the mild range across the country.

The remaining areas are expected to have thunderstorms that could start as early as mid-morning in some places. Isolated heavy rainfall amounts are expected with the possibility of flooding in flood-prone areas. *IMPACTS* Lightning strikes remain a threat to humans and livestock, as well as infrastructure. Localized heavy rains may reduce visibility in a few areas, more so at night. Flash flooding is probable in localized areas especially those that have water-saturated soils, impervious (paved) grounds, wetlands and river basins. *ACTIONS TO TAKE* Avoid crossing flooded rivers, swollen streams, areas where flash flooding has occurred, or where flowing water is above ankle height. Noting that, a 30cm depth of flowing water can sweep away large vehicles. Wait for the water to subside before attempting to cross, even if no heavy rains have occurred in the area in question, they may have occurred upstream. When thunder roars, go indoors. Stay indoors for at least 30 minutes after the thunderstorms have ended. These are precautionary measures to reduce the chances of being struck by lightning. *WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR SUNDAY 08 JANUARY 2023* Avoid crossing flooded rivers, swollen streams, areas where flash flooding has occurred or where flowing water is above ankle height.
