Southern Urals braces for icy storm with freezing rain in November

Heavy wet snow and freezing rain are forecast for parts of Russia’s Southern Urals in November. The severe weather is expected to create dangerous conditions on roads and power lines. Authorities have issued warnings for residents and travellers in the region.

The incoming storm will bring a mix of wet snow and freezing rain. Ice is likely to form on power lines, raising concerns about potential disruptions. Roads will also be affected, with slick surfaces and black ice making driving treacherous.

The weather warning covers much of the Southern Urals, though specific city forecasts remain unclear. Residents should take precautions against icy surfaces and possible power issues. The alert remains in place for November as the storm moves through.
