Prepare yourselves, Omsk residents! Due to forecasted adverse weather conditions on the evenings of June 3rd and continuing through the 4th and 5th, all utility and emergency response services in the Omsk region have been put on high alert.
According to forecasts, we're looking at some pretty rough weather. Expect strong winds of 25 meters per second or more, thunderstorms, heavy rain, and potentially large hail. This could pose a threat to our safety and infrastructure if it comes to pass.

Stay safe around power lines and electrical facilities! Remember, it's forbidden to approach broken wires within eight meters, and attempting to restore electricity independently is dangerous.
Now, here's where things get a bit interesting. Based on available information up to the current date (June 9, 2025), there seems to be a slight discrepancy in the forecasts for the Omsk region between June 3rd and June 5th[5][1]. The most recent detailed weather observation for Omsk Central Airport on April 26 and June 8 reported clear conditions (CAVOK), meaning no significant weather, precipitation, or fog, with good visibility and calm winds[1].
If you're looking for real-time alerts or updates, check the Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) or local news sources for the most current information. As of now, there are no indications of severe storms or active warnings for the Omsk region during the specified period[5][1]. You might just be in the clear after all!
Remember, emergencies should be reported to the appropriate emergency services. In Russia, you can reach police, ambulance, fire services, or the emergency (unified emergency number) by dialling 102, 103, 101, and 112, respectively.
Stay safe, Omsk! And here's hoping the weather doesn't turn too stormy!
I'm not sure if there will be a storm on the horizon as the latest weather observation for Omsk Central Airport showed clear conditions. However, weather-forecasting can be uncertain, so it's important to stay alert and prepared for any potential adverse weather.
