How to deal with the weather in outdoor tourism

What should I do if I encounter thunderstorm weather in the wild? Summer is coming, which is the season of strong convective weather, and extreme weather often occurs. Thunderstorms may occur when cumulus clouds begin to accumulate and turn black. Thunderstorms usually last a short time. Stay calm, don't be afraid, and stay in an avoidable place. So, how to avoid thunderstorms in the wild? Let's have a look.

1. What should I do in case of thunderstorm?

Don't panic when it thunders and rains outdoors. Let's see what the experts suggest.

1, when encountering thunderstorm on the way, be sure to stay away from the top of the mountain or other commanding heights; If you are in the forest, pay attention to choose places surrounded by trees and with open spaces in the middle for lightning protection; It is generally safer to enter the cave, but don't lean against it.

It is safer to wear a raincoat than an umbrella when encountering a thunderstorm in the wild. On rainy days, in the wild, it is human nature to open an umbrella to keep out the rain. But remember, if you hear thunder immediately after seeing lightning, it means that you are in a thunderstorm environment. Stop walking, put down your umbrella, and get down immediately with your feet together. Even if you don't have an umbrella, you shouldn't run around. When the thunder fades away, you can quickly find a safe place to shelter from the rain. It is safer to have a raincoat when traveling or working in the field.

Don't hide from the rain under the tree. Traveling outside, there is a thunderstorm, and there is a big tree next to it. Most people will naturally run under the tree to hide from the rain. As we all know, although hiding from the rain, it has caused lightning disasters, and accidents of being hit by lightning under trees often occur. If you really want to stay under the big tree as a last resort, you must stay at least 2 meters away from the tree and branches.
