Sochi anticipates heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds, potentially leading to beach closures
In the coming days, residents and tourists in Sochi and the Sirius Federal Territory Center (FTC) are advised to take precautionary measures as meteorologists forecast heavy rains, thunderstorms, hail, strong winds, potential landslides, and rapidly rising river levels from September 7 to 9.
The operational headquarters in Sochi is closely monitoring the weather situation, with all services in the city put on high alert. Meteorologists predict that the winds may reach up to 20 m/s, and there is a risk of tornadoes forming along the coast from Magri to Vesely. Small landslides may occur in mountainous areas, and isolated areas may experience heavy downpours.
The predicted weather conditions pose a risk of dangerous river level rises in rivers, potentially reaching critical levels. As a result, beaches in Sochi will operate based on actual weather conditions, with the city's operational headquarters continually assessing the situation.
A photograph of the weather situation is available on various news portals, providing a visual representation of the conditions expected. However, the responsible persons or institutions for preparedness and coordination of the response to adverse weather in Sochi and at the Sirius FTC are not explicitly named in the available search results.
Residents and tourists are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during this period. It is essential to stay updated on the weather forecast and follow any instructions issued by local authorities. By taking these measures, we can all help to minimise any potential risks and ensure a safe and enjoyable stay in Sochi.
