Wind warning issued in Omsk region due to strong gusts
In the Ob-Irtysh Hydrometeorological Center's latest report, it's predicted that the Omsk region will experience robust winds of up to 15-20 m/s, intermittent showers, and thunderstorms on May 21, 2025. Residents should also brace for light rainfall overnight.
In response to the anticipated adverse weather conditions, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations' Omsk Regional Directorate has issued a cautionary advisory for the public:
- Avoid being near trees, billboards, and power lines during strong winds.
- Steer clear of unstable structures, and do not park vehicles beneath them.
- Give special attention to children, ensuring they are not left unattended.
- If indoors, stay away from windows.
- Seek shelter in building entrances if you find yourself outdoors during strong winds.
In case of emergencies or extraordinary incidents, citizens are urged to report immediately by dialing 101.
Rising temperatures to around 6°C indicate that the region's heatwave won't persist for long. Standard precautions such as monitoring weather updates closely, securing outdoor items, and limiting outdoor activities during thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are advisable during these weather conditions.
For better safety, motorists should be mindful of slippery roads due to rain and reduced visibility while traveling. Strong winds can impact vehicle control, particularly for high-profile vehicles. During thunderstorms, residents should stay indoors, avoid using electrical appliances or plumbing due to lightning-related surges, and be prepared for potential power outages by keeping flashlights, batteries, and essential supplies handy. To safeguard properties, securing windows and doors is essential to prevent water and wind damage.
By following these measures, Omsk region residents can mitigate risks associated with the predicted weather conditions on May 21, 2025.
