rain-

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It is reported that summer rains are intensifying in the state after a while. The Central Meteorological Department has warned that rain with thunder and lightning is likely at isolated places in the state on Friday and Saturday. The warning also says to be careful as thunderstorms are dangerous.

Precautions:

  • Thunderstorms are dangerous. They cause great damage to human and animal life, electrical and communication networks and appliances connected to electrical conductors.
  • At the first sign of lightning, move to a safe building immediately. Staying in open areas increases the chance of being struck by lightning.
  • Keep windows and doors closed and stay away from doors and windows during periods of strong winds and lightning. Stay inside the building and try not to touch the wall or floor as much as possible.
  • Unplug household appliances. Avoid proximity to electrical appliances during thunderstorms. Avoid using the telephone during thunderstorms. It is okay to use a mobile phone.
  • Children should avoid playing outdoors and on terraces if the weather is cloudy. Do not stand under trees during thunderstorms. Do not park vehicles under trees.
