Yellow Warning for Storms and Hail on Easter Sunday
In a recent announcement, the Department of Meteorology has alerted the public to a yellow warning for storms and hail set to impact Easter Sunday festivities.
The forecast indicates that isolated storms will initially strike the western region before gradually extending across the entire island. These conditions are not only limited to heavy rainfall but also bring the possibility of hail, adding an extra layer of concern for outdoor activities and events traditionally held on this significant day.
With precipitation rates expected to range between 35 and 55 millimetres per hour, the intensity of these storms could lead to sudden flooding and challenging travel conditions. The Department of Meteorology advises residents and visitors to stay vigilant, monitor weather updates, and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this period.
Authorities are also coordinating with emergency services to respond promptly to any incidents that may arise due to the storm and hail. They recommend securing any loose items that could be damaged by high winds or hail and to avoid unnecessary travel during the peak hours of the warning.
While Easter Sunday is a time for celebration and gatherings, the Department of Meteorology’s announcement serves as a reminder to prioritize safety amidst the unpredictability of nature. The community is encouraged to stay informed and adapt their plans accordingly to avoid the brunt of the storm’s impact.
