Meteorologist warns of lightning dangers in Saskatchewan
Whether you are soaking up the rays, enjoying a boat ride or a nice relaxing swim this weekend, you should always be aware of the weather conditions that could turn deadly. That’s the warning from John Paul Cragg of Environment Canada.
“It’s really important that people be aware of the weather conditions during the summer whether they at home or at the beach,” Cragg said. “The weather can change so quickly at this time of year without much advance notice.”
Cragg said locals should take special care on waterways.
“Being at the lake or on the shore is not the place to be when lightning strikes,” Craig said. “Lightning does hit lakes and it does strike people in lakes so it is extremely dangerous.
