Thunderstorm Warning Explanation for USA and EU
A thunderstorm warning is issued when severe thunderstorms are imminent or occurring, posing risks of damaging winds, heavy rain, lightning, hail, or tornadoes. In the USA, the National Weather Service (NWS) issues these warnings for specific counties, typically lasting 30-60 minutes, urging immediate action like seeking shelter indoors. In the EU, national meteorological agencies (e.g., Met Office, Météo-France) issue similar warnings, often color-coded (yellow, orange, red) to indicate severity, with advice to avoid open areas and secure property. Always monitor local forecasts for real-time updates.
