Heatwaves in the Black and Azov Seas
Rising seawater levels anticipated to become comfortable in Krasnodar Region
It's becoming a perfect time to dive into the crystal-clear waters along the coast of Krasnodar Krai, as temperatures are steadily climbing and approaching ideal swimming conditions. records reveal that the hottest spots, as of June 16, include Tuapse, Anapa, and Novorossiysk, reaching an astonishing 21°C! Gelendzhik follows closely behind with around 20°C, while Sochi trails slightly, clocking in at a toasty 18°C.
The Azov Sea is even warmer: temperatures soar to 24°C in Yeisk, 23°C in Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and around 22°C in Temryuk.
Despite the inviting weather, a storm warning is in effect in Krasnodar Krai due to heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds. Unfortunately, this means Sochi's beaches are temporarily closed, and there's a risk of waterspouts emerging along the sea section from Anapa to Sochi.
As for travelers stuck due to flooding on a beach in Sochi, remembering their struggles.
Remember, life's a beach, but the weather can be fickle!
