Approaching weather system heads towards Krasnodar region.
In the Krasnodar region, the month of August 2021 was marked by a series of weather-related events and natural disasters.
On August 3, a waterspout lifted a catamaran off the beach in the Agoy settlement. The same day, a bus fell into a river in Defanovka village, and a landslide occurred on the M-4 "Don" highway. These incidents were followed by heavy rainfall, causing flooding in several villages, including Defanovka, Moldavanovka, and Novomikhaylovsky. As a result, 70 residential plots and 34 houses were flooded.
The flooding also affected the Shaпsukho River in the Tuapse district, where heavy flooding swept away an iron bridge on August 3. To mitigate the impact of the floods, emergency services installed a temporary crossing over the Shaпsukoo River for the restoration of storm-damaged communal infrastructure.
In response to the heavy rainfall and flooding, the water levels in rivers in the Abinsky, Seversky, Krymsky, Tuapse, Gelendzhik, and Goryachy Klyuch areas were expected to rise above dangerous marks on August 8. Additionally, there was a risk of waterspouts forming over the sea from Anapa to Magri on the same day.
To help citizens prepare for the adverse weather conditions, meteorologists predicted that August in the Krasnodar region would be hotter than usual. The Emergency Services also recommended that citizens stay indoors, monitor their surroundings, use waterproof clothing and footwear, and pay attention to SMS alerts about potential emergencies.
It's worth noting that, while there were no specific records or reports indicating a heavy weather forecast or recent natural disasters in the Krasnodar region for August 2021 in the given search results, the closest relevant information related to Krasnodar was a defensive response to drone attacks in August 2025[4]. This is a security and military event rather than a natural disaster or weather forecast.
