Residents of the Eastern Administrative District were warned about adverse weather events. Thunderstorms and strong winds with gusts up to 17 m/s are expected in the afternoon and evening on Monday, May 19.

Emergencies related to power line damage, utility accidents, partial tree felling and damage to poorly reinforced advertising structures are not excluded, which will inevitably lead to traffic jams.

Due to precipitation, flooding of low-lying sections of roads and household territories is possible. Local residents were advised to refrain from long walks, IA EAOmedia writes.
