Current water temperature of the Black Sea in resorts of Krasnodar region
On-going Warming Trend Pauses in Black Sea Waters
Amidst the ongoing warming trend, the waters of the Black Sea along the coast of the Krasnodar region have temporarily halted their warming process. According to the latest monitoring data, the maximum water temperature has slightly decreased over the past 24 hours, now reaching +18°C. The Azov Sea continues to maintain a warmer temperature at +21°C.
As reported by the Krasnodar Center for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, the warmest Black Sea waters, currently at +18°C, are located in Sochi and Anapa. Meanwhile, in Tuapse, Gelendzhik, and Novorossiysk, the temperature reads +17°C.
In parallel developments, the waters in the Azov Sea near Yeisk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk have warmed up to +21°C, while in Temryuk, it stands at +18°C. Scientific Director of Russia's Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, has predicted that the water at southern Russia's Black Sea resorts will be comfortable for swimming, reaching +22°C, no earlier than mid-June.
Previously reported, a heavy rainstorm warning persists in the Krasnodar region until the end of May 30, extending the possibility of increased water levels in foothill regions. The forthcoming summer heat is set to be replaced by the gradual return of spring coolness, with thermometers indicating reading from +18 to +23°C.
It is forecasted that the water temperatures in the Black Sea will eventually rise to above 22 degrees Celsius by mid-to-late June, making it suitable for most recreational swimming activities. The gradual increase in temperature is anticipated to continue into July, with the water temperature expected to reach approximately 25 degrees Celsius. Regional variations in temperature anomalies and precipitation may affect the warming trend, but overall, a warm summer season with comfortable swimming temperatures is forecasted for the region.
Environmental science data indicates that although the Black Sea waters are experiencing a temporary decrease due to the ongoing warming trend, they are predicted to rise to above 22 degrees Celsius by mid-to-late June, as stated by the Scientific Director of Russia's Hydrometeorological Center. In the meantime, the Azov Sea waters remain warmer at around +21°C, with the weather forecast predicting a gradual increase in Black Sea temperatures, reaching approximately 25 degrees Celsius in July.
