According to the forecast of the Lviv Regional Center for Hydrometeorology, a thunderstorm is expected in the city of Lviv and the region on July 22, with gusts of north-west wind 15-20 m/s in the afternoon, hail.
We urge you to pay attention to the weather forecast and be careful.
The city’s Department of Emergency Situations, Civil Protection and Territorial Defense reminds us of the rules of behavior during a thunderstorm. So:
– 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.
