Anticipated torrential rain, thundering storms, and robust sea waves approaching Sochi
Say goodbye to sunshine and hello to heavy rain and thunderstorms, folks! It looks like the wet stuff's headed for Sochi and the Sirius federal territory on the night of May 2 and throughout the morning of May 3, 2025, according to meteorologists. And if the waves are anything to go by, they're gonna reach heights of 0.8 to 1.2 meters on May 3 morning and afternoon.
So, by order of Sochi Mayor Andrei Proshunin, all city services are switching to high gear. The city's operational headquarters is monitoring the situation VERY closely.
Here's what you need to do to stay safe: stay the frick away from any water, don't park your car under trees, billboards or any other potentially deadly crap, and don't forget to take all necessary safety precautions. If disaster strikes and you’re in need of help, give 112 a call.
Now, you might be thinking, "Hey, wait a minute! I came all this way for a vacation, and now I’m stuck indoors!" Well, looks like you've got some time to explore indoor activities throwback to those museums, theaters or spa facilities Sochi's got in spades. And don't forget to bring your raincoats or foldable umbrellas - light rain ain't uncommon around these parts on May 1, 7, and 9. And a pair of non-slip shoes wouldn't go amiss, either.
Tourists flock to Sochi during the "May holidays," which include Victory Day on May 9. No data suggests unusual disruptions beyond the usual seasonal crowds. Still, it's always a good idea to stay up-to-date with real-time alerts by checking reputable sites like MetOffice or Ventusky, and maybe even reach out to the local tourism boards for event-specific guidance.
