When will the rains end in the Sverdlovsk region?
The flood situation in the Sverdlovsk region has become a consequence of a record amount of precipitation that has fallen over the past month and a half. This was reported at a press conference at TASS-Ural by the chief forecaster of the Ural Hydrometeorological Center, Galina Sheporenko.
According to her, the current weather conditions have no analogs in recent decades. Rain in the region has been almost continuous for about a month and a half, only interrupted for short periods. In June, the amount of precipitation exceeded the climatic norm by 2.5-3.5 times, and its total volume was greater than the three-month summer norm.
Due to prolonged downpours, the water level in most rivers in the region has approached or already exceeded spring maxima. Some rivers have recorded the highest levels in the entire history of observations.
At the same time, meteorologists warn that the situation may worsen. In the next four days, a new cyclone is expected in the Sverdlovsk region, which will bring up to 50 millimeters of precipitation — this is 40-60% of the monthly norm.
According to preliminary forecasts, an improvement in weather conditions is possible after July 20, when an anticyclone capable of stopping the prolonged rains begins to move into the region.
