Context & protective measures
Background: storms and severe weather bring gusts, heavy rain, hail and lightning. The greatest dangers are falling branches and trees, flying objects, torn-off roofs and power outages. Flash floods and overloaded drains can develop within minutes.
Recommendation
Likelihood low, impact low. Prepare using the linked guide.
Protective steps: when a warning is issued, stay indoors, close windows and doors, secure loose objects on balconies and in the garden. Avoid forests, bodies of water and open spaces. Keep away from windows and, during a power outage, use torches rather than open flames. A battery-powered radio ensures reception of official warnings.
