During thunderstorms, it is necessary to watch out for tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind at level 5-7 (8-17m/s). Heavy rain can cause localized flooding in low-lying areas.

The cause of thunderstorms is a low pressure trough with its axis passing through the Southern - South Central region, combined with southwest winds operating with medium intensity over the Southern sea areas.
