Weather Forecasters Predict Drying Rivers and Clearing Skies in Primorye Over the Weekend
In the easternmost part of Russia, the region of Primorsky Krai experienced above-average rainfall in early July 2025, yet there was no flooding reported. This is despite warnings from the weather forecast about dangerous weather and heavy rains similar to those expected in nearby regions.
According to the Hydrometeorological Center's scientific director, Roman Vilfand, heavy rains might cause rivers to overflow and flooding in several Russian regions, including Khabarovsk Territory and the Jewish Autonomous Region nearby. However, he did not specify flooding actually occurring in Primorsky Krai.
The region's hydrological and drainage systems appear to have absorbed or channeled the water effectively without leading to flooding at that time. This is supported by the lack of specific reports about flooding events in Primorsky Krai linked to those rains, contrasting with other regions where flash floods and damages were reported due to torrential rains, such as Bulgaria and Romania in late July 2025.
In Vladivostok, the commercial hub of Primorsky Krai, the night may see drizzle. The region received between 30% and 73% of its monthly normal precipitation, with Terney receiving 127%. On Saturday, light rain will continue in the region, with fog and drizzle on the coast. On Sunday, precipitation will leave Primorye, making the region cloudy but dry.
Temperatures in Vladivostok will reach +26°C on Saturday, and they are expected to rise a couple of degrees more on Sunday, reaching up to +27°C on the coast of Primorsky Krai. The wind on Saturday in Vladivostok will be fresh and southeasterly.
It's worth noting that there are no reports of any cyclones or gusty wind affecting Vladivostok, nor any cooling temperatures in Primorsky Krai. The article does not mention any other cities in Primorsky Krai besides Vladivostok regarding weather.
In conclusion, the absence of flooding despite heavy rainfall in Primorsky Krai can be attributed to the lack of river overflow or other contributing factors like soil saturation or storm surge conditions needed to produce flooding, as implied by expert forecasts and the lack of reported flood incidents.
Despite the heavy rainfall and weather-forecasting warnings, no flooding was reported in Primorsky Krai, possibly due to the region's hydrological and drainage systems effectively absorbing or channeling the water. While other neighboring regions like Khabarovsk Territory and the Jewish Autonomous Region could experience flooding, as predicted by the Hydrometeorological Center's scientific director, Roman Vilfand, no such incidents were recorded in Primorsky Krai.
