- Travel: Expect slick roads and reduced visibility during storms; allow extra time for commutes.
- Property: Secure loose objects on balconies and check drainage to avoid water damage from heavy rain or hail.
- Health: Colder temperatures may affect vulnerable groups; dress warmly and monitor local forecasts.
