Torrential rain expected to deluge coastline, potential for flooding looms large
Brace for potential floods in Primorye: Here's what you need to know
The weather forecasts for May 10th and 11th in Primorye have some folks raising an eyebrow. Following the not-so-subtle suggestion from the EMERCOM, we're bracing ourselves for some major flooding in the southern half of the region.
Typically, heavy rain leads to increased water levels in rivers, which can become a dangerous NASCAR race if the rainfall rate exceeds the drainage capacity of the river system. This could potentially result in those rivers overflowing, as sudden rises of up to 2.0 m are possible on the rivers of the Sea of Japan basin.
Given the high water levels of the rivers due to recent floods, sudden rainfall in the Ussuri River basin may complicate matters even further, causing water levels to reach critical marks and flooding nearby infrastructure objects.
So, if you live in these flood-prone areas – Hasansky, Ussuriysky, Anuchinsky, Shkotovsky, Partizansky, Lazovsky, Chuguyevsky, Kirovsky, or Mikhailovsky districts – you might want to find higher ground for a day or two. Disruptions in the operation of energy and housing and communal services systems are possible during this time, so it's a wise move to prepare accordingly.
Now, the EMERCOM has also warned about the potential risk of amateur fishermen and vacationers on unregistered watercraft being swept out to sea. So, if you were planning a river adventure, maybe hold off for a bit.
While these days may be a bit dicey, remember to keep an eye out for local weather services or official government announcements for the most accurate forecasts and warnings.
And to our fellow PrimaMedia readers, it's more important than ever to stay informed. Keep your eyes on the skies – and on PrimaMedia's VK page – for all things weather and flood-related in Primorye.
Stay safe, Primorye!
**Note:**As of the current search results, there is no specific information available regarding heavy rain predictions and flood warnings for Primorye, Russia, on May 10-11. However, these general considerations apply to such situations:
- Potential Impact on Rivers:
- River Levels: Heavy rain causes increased water levels in rivers, which can result in them overflowing if the rainfall rate exceeds the drainage capacity of the river system.
- Water Flow: Rivers may experience increased flow rates, leading to enhanced erosion and potential landslides along riverbanks.
- Impact on Infrastructure:
- Roads and Bridges: Excessive water can flood roads, potentially damaging bridges and making them impassable.
- Buildings and Homes: Flooding can damage buildings and homes, leading to displacement and financial losses.
- Flood-Prone Areas:
- Low-lying Regions: Areas near rivers, especially those with low elevations, are more susceptible to flooding.
- Urban Areas: Urban areas, particularly those with inadequate drainage systems, can also be affected significantly by heavy rains.
For detailed forecasts and warnings, it is always advisable to check local weather services or official government announcements.
- The weather forecasts suggest potential floods in the Ussuriysky territories of Primorye for May 10th and 11th, leading to increased water levels in rivers that could pose a danger if the rainfall rate surpasses the drainage capacity.
- Given the high water levels from recent floods in the Ussuri River basin, any additional rainfall could cause rivers to overflow, potentially flooding nearby infrastructure objects in territories like Hasansky, Ussuriysky, Anuchinsky, Shkotovsky, Partizansky, Lazovsky, Chuguyevsky, Kirovsky, or Mikhailovsky.
- The EMERCOM warns that there could be disruptions in the operation of energy and housing and communal services systems during this time, making it necessary to prepare accordingly.
