A yellow alert indicating thunderstorms and lightning is issued to several parts of the state for the next four days.

For Saturday, a yellow alert has been issued to districts including Ranga Reddy, Vikarabad, Adilabad, Kumaram Bheem Asifabad, Nirmal, Jagtiyal, Nizamabad, Mancherial, Kamareddy, Rajanna Siricilla, Medak, Sangareddy, Mahabubnagar, Narayanpet, Jogulamba Gadwal, and Wanaparthi.

Here’s the IMD’s advisory on precautions to be taken during Thunderstorms and lightning:

· Do not seek shelter under trees. Stay away from ponds, lakes, and other water bodies while it is thundering.

· Stay indoors— inside your car, bus, or train; seek safe pukka shelters. Do not get outside after thirty minutes of hearing the last thunderclap.

· If there is no shelter available, immediately enter the lightning crouch— a ball-like position with your head tucked and hands over your ears so that you are low with minimal contact with the ground.

· Do not use any electrical or electronic appliances and keep a safe distance from downed power lines.
