IMPACTS
• Lightning and strong winds are potential threats during thunderstorms.
• The back of open trucks or tractors is unsafe to ride in during a storm as the external frame acts as a lightning conductor.
• While land preparations are very vital at this stage, those engaged in such on-farm and other outdoor activities are reminded that it is illegal to start veldt fires.
• Do not ride at the back of an open truck/tractor even when the storm seems distant. If you see lightning and cannot count 30 seconds before you hear thunder, then the storm is too close.
• When thunder roars it is always advisable to seek shelter in a house or enclosed building that is earthed. Remain indoors for at least 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder. #30-30Rule
• Do not hide under trees or isolated sheds as these have a high potential of being struck by lightning.
• Put out any fires found in open veldts and along road-sides. Do not leave any fire unattended.
• Constantly follow the weather updates on the official platform in the footer of this page. Be Weather-Ready and Always Prepared.
