Heavy Rains and Strong Winds Cause Closures and Warnings in Sochi

Sochi is experiencing severe weather conditions, including heavy rains and strong winds, prompting the closure of beaches and cautionary advisories from the mayor’s office. The intense rainfall has resulted in over a month’s worth of precipitation in a single day.

Mayor Andrei Proshunin announced on June 16 that all areas of the city are experiencing rain. Authorities are actively addressing the aftermath of fallen trees and localized landslides.

While most immediate consequences have been mitigated, no new flooding of roads or territories is currently reported. The mayor is keeping close watch on the situation.

The challenging weather persists, with a storm warning remaining in effect until the end of the following day. Residents and visitors should anticipate intensified winds overnight and rough seas, with wave heights reaching up to 4 points.
