Thunderstorm weather safety tips

Thunderstorm weather is a common natural phenomenon, but it is also a potential safety hazard. In order to protect our own safety, we need to take some measures to avoid lightning strikes. The following are some safety tips for thunderstorm weather, hoping to help everyone.

Unplug the electrical appliance.

In thunderstorm weather, electrical appliances are a potential danger. In order to prevent electrical appliances from being struck by lightning, we should try not to use electrical appliances when it thunders, and ensure that all electrical appliances have been unplugged to prevent electrical appliances without lightning protection or with insufficient lightning protection measures from being struck by lightning.

Cars are lightning protection places.

A car is a good lightning protection place because its metal shell has shielding effect. Even if the car is struck by lightning, the people inside will be relatively safe. Therefore, in thunderstorm weather, if there is no other safe lightning protection place, we can choose to carry out lightning protection in the car.

♀? Avoid water sports

Outdoor ball games are not recommended.

Outdoor ball games are not recommended in thunderstorm weather. We should avoid holding umbrellas in the open, and don't carry metal objects such as hoes, shovels, badminton rackets, fishing rods and golf clubs on our shoulders, so as not to become conductors of lightning.
