IMD urged people to look out for worsening weather conditions and move to safer places. The advisory said that people should keep windows and doors closed. The weather department said that people should not take shelter under trees as there is a possibility of them breaking.

Further, people have been advised not to lie on concrete floors and not to take support from concrete walls. IMD also said that electrical appliances should be unplugged and people should immediately get out of water bodies.

While listing the impact of the thunderstorms, IMD said uprooting of trees and braking of branches is expected. Major and minor impacts to Papaya trees and Banyan trees are also expected.

IMD said that there could be possible damage to plantations and crops due to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. Vulnerable structures, people and cattle are also at risk of damage. "Lose objects may fly," IMD said in its advisory.
