Tomorrow, June 23, thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and hail are expected in the city of Lviv and the region in the afternoon and until the end of the day. Also, gusts of south-west wind 17-22 m/s, in the evening a squall of 25-28 m/s.
We remind you that during bad weather you should not walk under sprawling trees, billboards, power lines and antennas, because gusts of wind can damage them.
Rules of conduct during a thunderstorm:
· at home – close all windows and doors so that there is no draft, because it attracts ball lightning; turn off all electrical devices from the network – they attract lightning, including the phone – there is a risk of being struck by lightning during a conversation;
· on the street – do not hide under trees, because they attract lightning; there is also a danger of falling heavy branches that can break from gusts of wind and cause damage; avoid metal fences, billboards, walls near which trees grow, street lamps, metal towers, power poles and, in no case, do not open an umbrella if you have it with you – metal rods attract discharges;
· in the forest – do not hide on elevations and do not run, be where there are low trees; oak, poplar, pine and spruce conduct electricity the most, willow, maple and bushes conduct the least;
· in the field – find a recess in the ground and squat down; it is desirable that this place be dry, because wet ground conducts electricity more strongly.
