The Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology reported that on August 26 there will be a thunderstorm in the morning and afternoon, a squall of 15-20 m/s, hail.
We urge everyone to pay attention to the weather forecast and be careful.
We remind you of the rules of behavior during a thunderstorm:
– if you are at home, close the 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.
– if you are outside, 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 lights, metal towers, power poles and, in no case, do not open an umbrella if you have it with you – metal rods attract discharges.
According to the Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology of Ukraine, extreme (class 5) and high (class 4) fire danger will remain in the Lviv region on August 26-28
In the city of Lviv: on August 26-28, an extreme (class 5) fire hazard will remain.
The head office of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Lviv region warns that under such conditions, dry grass can take over in a matter of seconds, even from a kindling left behind.
Therefore, we urge citizens to be extremely careful with fire in open areas, as well as when cleaning homesteads.
