Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms pose significant risks, including flash flooding, especially in areas with poor drainage. Roads may become impassable, and strong winds could lead to downed trees and power lines. Residents in low-lying areas and near rivers are particularly vulnerable. The storms also carry the risk of isolated tornadoes, which could cause localized damage.
