On the beaches in Sochi introduced a temporary ban on swimming. This was reported in the press service of the city mayor's office.
This is due to weather conditions, which contribute to the formation of tornadoes over the sea, reported in the city administration.
Corresponding weather conditions were recorded in the water area between Magri and Veselny. In addition, waves up to two meters high are rising in the sea. By order of the local mayor Andrei Proshunin all emergency services are on high alert.
The city authorities advise citizens and tourists to avoid resting near the water. Red flags, which forbid bathing, are posted at the beaches, and QR codes lead to educational videos about how to behave in a storm. In case of emergency it is necessary to call 112.
Earlier, forecasters urged residents of most Russian regions to prepare for rain.
