According to the Lviv Regional Centre for Hydrometeorology, tomorrow, thunderstorms with hail and squalls of 15-20 m/s are expected in Lviv and the region.
We urge residents to pay attention to the weather forecast and be careful.
The City Department for Emergency Situations, Civil Protection and Territorial Defence reminds the rules of behaviour during a thunderstorm:
– close windows and doors at home; unplug all electrical appliances – they attract lightning, including the phone – there is a risk of lightning striking while talking.
– When outdoors, do not hide under trees, as they attract lightning; there is also a danger of heavy branches falling, which can break in wind gusts and cause damage; avoid metal fences, billboards, power poles and, in any case, do not open an umbrella if you have it with you – metal rods attract discharges.
