While not every location will experience these storms, those that do may see 20 to 40 mm of rain falling in a short period of time.<br \/>\nIf you are in an area prone to flash flooding, it is advisable to prepare a flood plan and emergency kit. Check road conditions if you are driving, or public transport schedules if you are using buses or trains, in order to avoid delays.<br \/>\nPrepare for power outages by stocking up on torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other essentials. During a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space such as a car, and avoid trees or structures that may attract lightning.
