Alert raised for potential storm in Kuban region
The Krasnodar region in Russia is currently bracing for unfavourable weather conditions, with the Russian Emergencies Ministry issuing a warning for the approaching severe weather.
According to the latest forecasts, thunderstorms may hit the Krasnodar region, potentially accompanied by hail. This weather pattern is particularly concerning for areas along the Black Sea coast, where rivers are expected to rise in water levels. Some areas may even exceed dangerous water level marks.
However, it's important to note that current weather forecasts for Krasnodar and its surrounding regions for August 2025 do not indicate heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail, or high winds, nor do they mention the potential for waterspouts along the Black Sea coast. The forecast shows mostly sunny weather with some days of light rain and cloudy intervals, but no severe weather warnings for heavy rain or storms are given.
Wind speeds reported are moderate, around 7-8 mph, without indications of the high wind gusts typically associated with storms and waterspouts. However, wind speeds in the Krasnodar region may reach up to 20-22 m/s, which could potentially increase the risks associated with the rising water levels.
Given these conditions, the Russian Emergencies Ministry has warned that these weather conditions may cause potential risks or emergencies. Residents are advised to stay informed and prepared. Emergency contact numbers in the Krasnodar region are "112", "01", and "101".
For the latest news and updates, residents can check trusted sources such as Telegram, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, and YouTube. It's crucial to stay informed during these challenging weather conditions to ensure safety and preparedness.
