What are the main precautions that must be taken with the zonda wind?
Avoid handling flammable materials and elements that can cause sparks or fire, since the dryness of the environment during the presence of the Zonda wind increases the possibility of fires. Be sure to completely extinguish the cigarette butt before throwing it away.
Avoid exertion and try to reduce your stay outside to a minimum.
Close the house as tightly as possible and cover all small openings, such as door and window frames, with damp cloths.
When you are in open areas, stay away from large, leafy trees. Pay attention to objects such as metal sheets or tiles that can be torn off by the wind.
Do not park your car under trees or wires.
