Be careful in places that are especially exposed to the impact of thunderstorms: if you are in the forest, seek shelter in a lower place, in places with lower bushes, while if you are in an open area, take shelter in a low place, for example, in a valley. Avoid being on hills, in open fields, near power lines. While on the water, try to get to the shore and seek shelter immediately.
Take care of pets, they are also at-risk of thunderstorm impact.
Disturbances in power supply, communications, and traffic are expected in large areas. Read more about electrical safety and actions in case of power outages during a storm https://www.vugd.gov.lv/lv/stiprs-vejs-negaiss ! If the building is not equipped with lightning rod and overvoltage protection systems, it is dangerous to operate electrical appliances during a thunderstorm - they must be disconnected from the power grid!
Strong wind squalls will break tree branches and even trees. Loose objects or debris will be carried through air. Do not park the vehicle under trees.
As much as possible, avoid using objects such as an electric scooter, a fishing rod, also an umbrella, and avoid being near metal objects.
Rainshowers will cause a rapid rise in water levels and possible flooding of low-lying areas.
Difficult driving conditions on the road due to reduced visibility and aquaplaning. Consider that you need to plan a longer time for trips.
Thunderstorms can also be accompanied by large hail, damaging crops, and plantations.
Thunderstorms and their accompanying very intensive phenomena typically occur locally within the area defined in the warning. Read more about necessary actions during a thunderstorm https://www.vugd.gov.lv/lv/stiprs-vejs-negaiss

Yellow Flooding Warning
May this year has been cool and rainy, with the heaviest rainfall in the center and east of the country, where the environment is already overly humid. Water is accumulating in the fields and in the lower depressions. River runoff has mostly increased.
After rains larger areas in the fields are flooded, as well as low-lying areas on the banks of water bodies. The water level in larger rivers will be elevated for a long time. BE AWARE of the potentially flood-prone areas! The environment is already overly humid, water is accumulating in the fields and in the lower depressions, low-lying areas on the banks of water bodies are flooded. Caution should be exercised when moving in flood-prone areas.

In conditions of high humidity, there is a risk of damage to moisture-sensitive crops.
Difficult driving conditions on the road due to reduced visibility and aquaplaning. Consider that you need to plan a longer time for trips.
Caution should be exercised when moving in areas most affected by flooding.
Take care of the rainwater drainage systems in a timely manner, maintain them in a functional order.
