Bad Weather Ahead: Prepare for Thunderstorms in Sverdlovsk Region on June 20
Look out for some serious rain and thunderstorms rolling into the Sverdlovsk region on the 20th of June. The Territorial Center for Monitoring and Response to Emergencies (TCRME) has issued a warning, advising locals to stay indoors and steer clear of the great outdoors during bad weather.
TCRME also brings to your attention some crucial safety measures for when the thunderstorm front does arrive. Close up windows and doors nice and tight, douse any fires, and say goodbye to your cable TV for a while. Disconnect external antennas, electricity, and gas and steer clear of open areas and water bodies.
In case you need a hand, call up the fire and rescue service of the EMERCOM of Russia at 101 or dial the emergency services hotline 112. Sounds dramatic, but it's better to be safe!
If you're keeping an eye on the weather channels, you might've noticed a rough outlook for the region the day before, on June 19 - rain, hail, and gusty winds were expected.
