Sochi, Russia, is bracing for a storm that is expected to hit the Black Sea region from the evening of September 18 to the end of September 19. The meteorologists responsible for forecasts in this area are typically the Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) and regional weather centers.

According to the latest reports from the press service of the Sochi administration, the storm is expected to bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, and hail, as well as gusts of wind up to 20 meters per second. Sea roughness is predicted to increase to 4-5 points during the storm, and wave height may reach two to three meters with swell from the southwest.
