On June 23, 2024, at 10:37 PM, Wang Yahui encountered afternoon thunderstorms and shared five life-saving rules to remember. Meteorologist Wu Derong warned of a significant thunderstorm accompanying thunder today. Former Central Weather Bureau Director Zheng Mingdian outlined the '5 life-saving safety rules in a thunderstorm area,' such as squatting down immediately when hair stands on end and avoiding showering indoors. Zheng emphasized safety indoors, avoiding phone lines and doors, and avoiding showers during thunderstorms. Outdoors, seek shelter in buildings, avoid tall trees or objects, and move to lower areas while avoiding water and conductive objects. Zheng also highlighted the risks of boating and swimming during thunderstorms, advising to retreat ashore quickly. In a car during a heavy thunderstorm, use hazard lights, slow down, and pull over to the right, while being cautious of falling objects. If there is no risk of flooding, staying in the car is recommended, avoiding contact with metal components. Zheng stressed the lack of protection against lightning in camping tents, urging caution.
