To be safe from experiencing lightning strikes, the public has been urged to remember the 30-30 rule.

The rule says if lightning is seen in a distance and one cannot count 30 seconds before the sound of thunder, then there is a potential of lightning strikes.

Under such conditions, people should stay indoors for 30 minutes after the last rumble.
