The Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology warns that tomorrow, May 30, thunderstorms, hail and wind gusts of 15-20 m/s are possible in Lviv.
We urge residents to pay attention to forecasters’ forecasts and observe the rules of safe behavior during inclement weather, in particular, thunderstorms.
We remind you of the rules of behavior during a thunderstorm. So if you:
· 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.
