Khabarovsk braces for a powerful windy cyclone with gusts up to 25 m/s
Authorities in Khabarovsk have declared a state of heightened alert due to an approaching windy cyclone. While the storm will bring strong winds, it will not cause the previously feared 'hazardous weather event' in terms of snowfall. The regional Ministry of Emergency Situations has warned residents about potential blizzards, snowdrifts, and road obstructions. Winds are set to strengthen on Monday, with coastal gusts reaching 20–25 m/s. Despite the challenging conditions, authorities aim to maintain traffic flow and respond swiftly to any issues. It's worth noting that the cyclone will bring less precipitation than initially expected. Local emergency services and regional government authorities have joined forces to ensure safety and preparedness. They have enabled a heightened alert status to better tackle any wind-related challenges that may arise. In summary, Khabarovsk is bracing for a windy cyclone with strong winds, but not the heavy snowfall initially feared. Authorities are prepared and working together to ensure safety and minimise disruption.
