1.2 CAUTION
Moderate-to-heavy rainfall increases the risk of flash flooding. Strong winds may accompany the rain. The public is advised not to drive through surface runoff, as it can have strong undercurrents. Other likely hazards include slippery road surfaces and reduced visibility during the rain, which can disrupt road traffic. Strong winds threaten weak structures, trees, electrical lines, and masts. Disconnect electrical appliances before, not during, the rains. Elsewhere (see places in Green), no hydrometeorological hazards are anticipated. The public is, however, advised to watch out for updates.
