Emergency teams continue to address the aftermath of recent severe weather across the Federation, with widespread power disruptions reported in nine regions. Authorities confirmed that the outages were linked to a combination of heavy rainfall and gusts reaching near 20 meters per second over the past day.
Official updates indicate that the storm system knocked down more than 200 trees and damaged roughly 30 vehicles. Rescue crews coordinated the response to secure roads, restore essential services, and assess structural safety in affected neighborhoods and towns.
The regions affected by the weather disturbances include Leningrad, Moscow, Bryansk, Oryol, Tula, Pskov, Novgorod, Kursk, and Kaluga. In each area, teams worked through the night to clear debris, inspect power lines, and open backup routes to ensure residents could access critical facilities such as hospitals, shelters, and fuel stations.
Across the response zones, approximately 400 people and 160 units of equipment were mobilized to support the operation. Rescuers focused on prioritizing utility restoration, road safety, and minimizing disruption to local communities as conditions evolved with the advancing weather front.
Forecasts had previously warned residents of Moscow and surrounding areas to anticipate continued rainfall and sleet as a cyclonic disturbance tracked toward the northwest. Meteorologists noted that the center of the cyclone would influence weather dynamics, bringing unsettled conditions to multiple regions and increasing the likelihood of further gusty winds.
In Dagestan, meteorological observations marked a notable anomaly as summer snowfall occurred for the first time in four years, highlighting the unusual and rapidly changing patterns within the broader climate system. Authorities stated that even rare weather events should be anticipated as part of ongoing monitoring and preparedness measures.
