The weather pattern in Primorsky Krai shifts as Typhoon Lan nears, bringing heavy rainfall to the region and triggering official weather advisories. Local hydrometeorology agencies are monitoring the situation and issuing situational updates as conditions evolve across the province.
During the night, rainfall intensifies as the typhoon approaches, with forecasts indicating a marked increase in precipitation rates. This surge is expected to be especially pronounced along the eastern parts of Primorsky Krai, where the combination of intense rain and gusty winds could test drainage systems and flood defenses in low-lying areas.
Forecasters warn that the heaviest rainfall will accumulate in the eastern sector, with totals potentially reaching substantial levels relative to typical seasonal norms. Wind speeds along the eastern coastline may climb, while coastal headlands could experience stronger gusts, creating challenging conditions for coastal residents and travelers.
Rising water levels in rivers, including the Ussuri, are anticipated as the rain continues. The combination of saturated soils and rising rivers heightens the risk of local flooding in communities connected to these waterways and in agricultural zones dependent on consistent rainfall patterns.
In response to the approaching storm, regional authorities have activated emergency plans and issued warnings to residents. The focus remains on protecting life, minimizing property damage, and ensuring that essential services operate with minimal disruption. Preparedness measures include monitoring river gauges, securing vulnerable infrastructure, and providing guidance to households about safeguarding belongings and moving to higher ground where necessary.
As the situation unfolds, authorities reiterate the importance of staying informed through official channels and following instructions from emergency services. The public is advised to avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain and high winds, to heed evacuation directives if issued, and to prepare emergency kits with essentials such as water, light sources, and basic medical supplies.
