rain showers, thunderstorms, and strong winds are on the horizon, with studies even indicating possible hail and winds up to 25 meters per second! The Western Siberian Hydrometeorological Center has issued a forecast for this chaotic weather.

So, citizens of Novosibirsk, remember to tread carefully! Park your vehicles under something sturdy instead of weak trees or poorly secured structures. Keep a close eye on your kiddos' outdoor activities.

- Secure outdoor items: Anchor or store loose objects (e.g., patio furniture, trash bins) to avoid getting tangled in the wind.
- Prepare emergency kits:Keep essentials like flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable food, medications, and first-aid supplies within reach.
