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
• High temperatures may lead to dehydration
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 an isolated shed.
• 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.
• Keep hydrated, especially during the daytime by drinking adequate amounts of water.
