Thunderstorm Alert Issued for Sochi and Sirius by Emergency Ministry
Heads Up, Sochi and Sirius Residents! 🚨
Since the start of summer in 2025, it's crucial for you to keep a keen eye on the weather. According to the regional emergency services, there's a chance of waterspouts forming over the sea, stretching from Magri to Veseloe, on the 29th and 30th of June.
They've issued an advisory for the public. If you need to go out, make sure to don waterproof clothes and shoes, safeguard your valuables with waterproof fabrics, and carry important documents, cash, water, medication, and food. Remember to stay indoors and keep an ear open for any updates.
Back in mid-June, Sochi experienced heavy rains that led to major flooding in different parts of the city, causing power outages, traffic jams, and river overflow in Adler. A fallen tree even disrupted a car ride in Dagomys, but thankfully, no one was hurt.
A puddle forming on one of the streets in Adler once resulted in a traffic standstill, making drivers wait for the water level to subside.
As distant as it may seem, waterspouts have been spotted in the Sochi sea area on the 16th of June.
While historical evidence of waterspouts specifically in Sochi or the federal territory of Sirius is scarce, as a general rule of thumb, if you spot a waterspout warning, stay indoors, avoid being near water, and follow the official weather updates.
So, keep your eyes peeled, stay safe, and get ready for the potential storm that's brewing! 🌪️🌊
The unusual weather patterns in the Sochi sea area could be a consequence of environmental-science phenomena, such as waterspouts, as was observed on the 16th of June. To ensure your safety during such events, it's crucial to pay heed to scientific guidance, especially health and safety instructions issued by regional emergency services, like the one scheduled for the 29th and 30th of June.
