In the Kavalerovsky municipal district of Primorsky Krai, the region experienced an extraordinary surge in precipitation over a 48‑hour period. A representative from the Primorsky hydrometeorological center reported that the two days saw rainfall that far exceeded the monthly norm, reaching nearly six and a half times the usual amount. The fact was confirmed by the center, which monitors rainfall across the province and issues timely weather advisories.
Beyond Kavalerovsky, rainfall surpluses were noted in multiple areas of the region. The extraordinary wet spell impacted air travel, with Vladivostok Airport experiencing flight delays for a third consecutive day and regional air service suspended for two days as crews and passengers adjusted to the persistent weather conditions.
For two days, vast portions of Primorsky Krai saw precipitation levels that eclipsed the monthly average. The eastern districts bore the brunt of the downpour and associated weather effects. In the Kavalerovsky district alone, rainfall reached 110 mm, which translates to about 647 percent of the monthly norm, according to a representative from the hydro-meteorological service. The surge in rainfall contributed to flooding risks and required additional monitoring across the province.
The impact of the storm extended beyond rainfall. Several thousand residents experienced power outages as a result of a strong snow cyclone accompanying the system. Snow depth rose above one meter in the eastern areas of the region, while coastal zones endured winds gusting up to 30 meters per second. These conditions intensified travel disruption and heightened the need for emergency response and shelter planning.
Earlier reports noted that a strong wind gusts had damaged a pool facility in Yuzhno-Kurilsk, where the building’s wall collapsed under the force of the storm. Local authorities mobilized emergency crews to assess structural safety and restore services as quickly as possible, highlighting the ongoing risk presented by the powerful weather system.
