Headline: Severe Weather Alert Issued for Multiple Regions in Russia
Heavy rains, thunderstorms, and hail are forecast for various regions in Russia this weekend, according to Roman Vilfand, the scientific head of Russia's Hydrometeorological Center. The weather conditions are expected to be very complicated, with gusty winds reaching up to 25 m/s or more in some areas.
In the Leningrad and Pskov regions, heavy rain is forecast, and a storm warning has been issued for the Altai Krai. The storm warning includes advisories for heavy rainfall potentially causing flooding or mudslides, thunderstorms with the risk of lightning and gusty winds, and hail, which can damage crops, vehicles, and property.
Siberia is not exempt from these severe weather conditions. Thunderstorms are forecast for the region, and large hail is expected. The gusty winds in the Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, and Omsk regions may reach up to 22 m/s. In addition, very heavy rains, thunderstorms, large hail, and gusty winds up to 25 m/s or more are expected in Khakassia and the Krasnoyarsk Krai from July 12 to 14.
The situation is no less complicated in southern Western Siberia. Temperatures in Komi are expected to remain around 20 degrees, but the region is not immune to the severe weather conditions.
For precise and current information, it is best to consult up-to-date authoritative Russian weather services or meteorological agencies such as Roshydromet (Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring of Russia), which issue localized storm warnings including specifics on timing, severity, and expected impacts. Potential impacts may involve disruptions to transportation, damage to agriculture, power outages, and risks to personal safety, especially in vulnerable areas.
Please refer to official weather updates for your specific region to stay informed and prepared for these severe weather conditions.
