Sochi's Sunny Break Brief, Rains and Storm Due Next Weekend

After prolonged rains, sunny weather has set in in Sochi with daytime temperatures around +14°C (57°F), but it won«t last long. By the weekend, bad weather with heavy rains, similar to last weekend, will return to the resort.

Utility services have about a week to complete landslide cleanup work before the next precipitation and stabilize the situation. After all, a new wave of rains could again lead to soil oversaturation. Recall that over the weekend, three landslides occurred simultaneously in Sochi.

Meanwhile, the city awaits almost spring-like warmth. The warm air will make the sea restless. The Emergencies Ministry has disseminated an SMS alert about a minor storm.

— During the day on January 27, as well as overnight and in the morning of January 28, in the territory of Sochi and the Sirius Federal Territory, increased sea agitation up to 4 points with wave heights of 1.3–1.5 m (4.3–4.9 ft) from the south is expected — the text states.

Residents and visitors of the city are urged to refrain from water-side recreation and exercise caution.
