Thunderstorm is a severe weather phenomenon produced by the air under extremely unstable conditions. It often carries strong wind, rainstorm, lightning, lightning, and even accompanied by hail or tornado, so it often causes disasters. So what are the precautions for thunderstorm weather? We especially remind you to observe the following ten precautions in thunderstorm weather outdoors to ensure safety:
1. Do not stay on the high-rise platform in thunderstorm weather, and do not enter isolated sheds, sentry boxes, etc. in outdoor open places.
2. Keep away from exposed water pipes, gas pipes and other metal objects and electrical equipment.
3. It is not suitable to avoid thunderstorms under big trees. If it is absolutely necessary, keep 3M away from the trunk, squat down and close your legs.
4. If there is a sense of ants crawling away at the head, neck and hands and the hair is erect during the thunder and lightning, it indicates that lightning will occur. You should lie on the ground quickly, so as to reduce the risk of lightning, and take away the metal ornaments, hairpins, necklaces, etc.
5. If you encounter thunderstorm outdoors and have no time to leave tall objects, you should immediately find some dry insulation on the ground and close your feet on it. Do not put your feet on the ground other than the insulation, because water can conduct electricity.
6. When avoiding thunderstorms outdoors, pay attention not to support the ground with your hands, hold your knees with both hands, keep your chest close to your knees, and lower your head as much as possible, because your head is most vulnerable to lightning than other parts of your body.
7. When thunder is heard within a few seconds after seeing lightning outdoors, it means that you are in a dangerous environment near thunderstorm. At this time, you should stop walking, put your feet together and squat immediately. Don’t pull together with people. It’s best to use plastic rain gear, raincoat, etc.
8. In thunderstorm weather, it is not suitable to hold an umbrella in the wilderness, or hold up a badminton racket, golf club, hoe, etc; It is not suitable for outdoor ball games. It is very dangerous to play golf, football and other sports in thunderstorm weather; It is not suitable to stay on the water surface and water edge; It is not suitable to wash clothes, fish, swim and play by the river.
9. In thunderstorm weather, it is not suitable to drive a motorcycle, ride a bicycle and run wildly in the rain, because the larger the step of the body, the greater the voltage and the easier it is to hurt people.
10. If you see the high-voltage line broken by lightning outside, you should be vigilant at this time, because there is a step voltage near the breakpoint of the high-voltage line, people nearby should not run at this time, but should put their feet together and jump away from the site.
