Consequences of heavy rains in Odesa
On September 30, Odesa was struck by heavy rains due to a local cyclone over the Black Sea. In one day, 94 mm of precipitation fell, exceeding the monthly norm by 224%. This led to the announcement of three levels of danger from yellow to red. Notable forecasters explain that cyclones over the sea remained 'anchored' in place, which prevented the anticyclone from displacing them, creating sharp atmospheric fronts and local downpours.
After the heavy rains and flooding in Odesa and the region, rescuers from the SES worked for almost a day to eliminate the consequences of the bad weather. The number of deaths rose to nine, including one child. Search operations continued all night, including the search for a missing girl, whose body was found in the morning.
The weather in Odesa during different periods has led to significant disasters and resulted in serious consequences, including human casualties and infrastructure damage. It is necessary to be cautious and prepare for possible new weather challenges.
