Localized heavy rains may cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods in small rivers and streams; landslides on steep slopes. Strong winds and large waves at sea may affect the operation of ships and other activities.
Severe cold, frost, snow and ice can affect livestock and poultry; greatly affecting the growth and development of crops.
