Besides drowning, beware of other risks.

For a long time, people who go to the beach are usually only concerned about drowning, but there are some equally dangerous risks such as drowning that few people pay attention to, perhaps because they do not know that lightning strikes at sea, which often occur when there is a thunderstorm or when it is about to rain, can be unpredictable and dangerous while swimming or playing at the beach.

To ensure safety and not affect health as well as limit risks caused by lightning, rescue experts recommend that people going to the beach, especially when there are signs of thunderstorms, lightning should not play on the beach, and people absolutely should not swim in the sea when it rains. Because the sea in the summer, thunderstorms can appear suddenly in the afternoon after a hot sunny day. Because water conducts electricity very well, swimming in the water is no different than attracting lightning to yourself. That is why bathing or swimming in ponds, lakes, and the sea are dangerous. In addition, when it is about to rain or thunder, using a camera to take pictures is a high risk and should not be done, because the camera components contain iron devices that can conduct electricity and attract lightning. As for phones, although there has not been any specific scientific research on the use of mobile phones during thunderstorms, to prevent unfortunate incidents, we should avoid using phones during thunderstorms. In addition, avoid holding umbrellas or sitting under umbrellas on the beach made of iron frames because iron objects can easily conduct lightning when a storm comes. This fact has been recommended for a long time, but even in the current rainy season, many people still like to swim or walk around on the beach despite thunderstorms and lightning.

Do not take shelter under trees to avoid thunderstorms and strong winds that can cause trees to fall.

Just recently on Saturday afternoon (June 10), at Doi Duong tourist beach, despite the gloomy weather, thunder, storms, and rain, there were still some people swimming carefree in the sea. Besides, there were many tourists happily playing on the beach and they did not hesitate to use cameras or mobile phones to pose for pictures...

It is now summer, so the beach is the chosen destination for many people's exciting and exciting trips to enjoy the cool sea breeze. However, the sea always has many potential risks, so every year from now until September is the time when Binh Thuan often has heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms. Knowing that once coming to the beach, almost everyone wants to swim. But when encountering stormy days, thunder and lightning, it is best to temporarily suspend this hobby and not be reckless when the weather is at the peak of the rainy and stormy season.
