The anticipated weather conditions bring potential risks to various aspects of life and property. Strong winds and hail pose threats to plantations, horticulture and standing crops, potentially causing significant damage. Additionally, open areas are at risk of hail, which could result in injuries to people and livestock. The strong winds may also cause partial damage to vulnerable structures, while kutcha houses are susceptible to minor harm. It is advised to avoid standing in open spaces or under trees during lightning to minimise risks to personal safety.
Seeking safe shelter is paramount during adverse weather conditions, particularly avoiding refuge under trees. Additionally, it is crucial to refrain from lying on concrete floors or leaning against concrete walls to minimise potential harm. Unplugging electrical and electronic appliances is advised to prevent damage from power surges. If inside or near water bodies, it is imperative to exit or move away from them immediately. Furthermore, maintaining distance from any objects that conduct electricity is essential to mitigate the risk of electrocution or injury.
