A thunderstorm is classified as severe when the wind blows at over 50 knots. Hail, tornadoes, and lightning often accompany severe thunderstorms, causing serious damage to property and life.
The world faces nearly 16 million thunderstorms annually! That means about 1,800 thunderstorms are currently active as you read this. In India itself, we faced thunderstorms for one-third of the previous year. Such high frequency storm is bound to have an impact on people and businesses.
Thunderstorms originate rapidly without any warning. Dangerous thunderstorms can damage residential and commercial enterprises as these may spike up voltages, sabotage buildings, and destroy electrical poles and wiring. There are no products analogous to lightning protectors available. Your business can only sustain itself through thunderstorms by adapting to them. You must plan accordingly, with proper scheming and technology. With its thunderstorm detection feature, a severe thunderstorm warning application such as Vyomet can be of great help.
Thunderstorms cause a significant hazard to residential apartments, villas, and multi-story offices. People often ignore weather warnings and indulge in outdoor activities. Often, offices do not take storm predictions seriously, so employees may end up suffering harsh weather conditions on their commute.
Since no thunderstorm detection or prevention systems are available, going out can be risky with a dangerous thunderstorm approaching towards you. With a simple and easy to use app, Vyomet installed on your device, you will be warned of any approaching thunderstorm that can be hazardous. It will also give you the time to plan your course of action.
A sector that is highly affected by thunderstorms is Tourism. It is not ideal for tourists to visit a place that has high storm frequency. Several places may have a limit to the number of visitors at a time. Any open tourist place must have a shed for tourists for shelter and protection during a thunderstorm.
Thunderstorms often destroy heritage places as well. The results are catastrophic when a tornado accompanies a dangerous thunderstorm. Thus, it is necessary to have a warning system that can detect such thunderstorms.
The favorite target of thunderstorms are stadiums and open fields. Objects flying around at high speed might hit someone, causing a fatal injury. As a matter of fact, thunderstorms and lightning pick up more than half of their victims at leisure places and open grounds. In a storm-prone region, you are always under a threat while outdoors.
All these possibilities make dangerous thunderstorm predictions a must in stadiums and fields. There are a lot of such places where there is no place for the crowd to hide from the storm. Thus, you should always be aware of any possibility of a thunderstorm or hailstorm striking the region you’re visiting.
Thunderstorms and lightning have a massive impact on the functioning of airports, dockyards, and harbors. Weather conditions determine the flying of aircraft and sailing of ships. Thus, thunderstorms affect your business directly if it involves the shipping of materials.
Also, thunderstorms cause a threat to you and your goods. Therefore, before taking any flight or boarding a ship, it is advisable to check for thunderstorm warnings. An application such as Vyomet can be life-savings on foreign grounds (air and water).
There is no method to protect yourself from a thunderstorm apart from staying indoors during one. You can only prevent going out by knowing the possibility of one. Also, you can optimize your businesses and trips according to the history of your area and any future storm predictions.
