According to the Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology of Ukraine, thunderstorms will occur in the territory of the Lviv region and in the city of Lviv in the next hour, with preservation until the end of the day on August 9.
The main department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Lviv region appeals to the population with a warning to be attentive and careful during worsening weather conditions:
🟢 during a thunderstorm, if you are at home, close all windows and doors, there should be no drafts in the room, stay away from electrical appliances.
🟢 if bad weather finds you outside, try not to walk under the eaves of buildings, and also stay away from sprawling trees, billboards and power lines.
🟢 avoid metal fences, walls near which trees grow, street lights, metal towers, power poles.
🟢 do not hide from the downpour under a tree: it attracts lightning. In addition, there is a danger of falling heavy branches that can break from gusts of wind.
🟢 if a thunderstorm caught you in a car, you don’t need to leave it, you need to close the windows and lower the car antenna. In no case can the car be parked under trees or high structures.
We ask you to take responsibility for your own life and the lives of your relatives and, in case of danger, call the Rescue Service “101”.
