Nizhny Novgorod residents were warned about rain and squally winds on July 5 and 6.

      July 5, 2026 12:14 Society In the next 1−3 hours on July 5, heavy rain and gusty winds with speeds of up to 17−22 m/s are expected in the Nizhny Novgorod region and Nizhny Novgorod. The Federal State Budgetary Institution "Upper Volga Hydrometeorological Center" warned that these weather conditions will persist both at night and during the day on July 6, according to the regional Emergency Situations Ministry. As a result, the likelihood of emergencies is increasing. Local flooding may occur due to malfunction or clogging of stormwater and drainage systems, flooding of low-lying areas, roads, low-water bridges, power line supports, and communication lines, as well as agricultural land. Additionally, disruptions in transportation and utility services, an increase in traffic accidents, as well as landslides and slope washouts are not excluded. When driving, it is recommended to reduce speed. It is advisable to avoid low-lying areas and stay away from power lines, trees, light structures, and other poorly secured objects. Cars are not recommended to be parked near these objects. Recall that on July 4, the Arzamas district was hit by a natural disaster: hurricane winds led to a number of emergencies related to fallen trees and power line breaks. A girl died in the working village of Vyyezdnoye. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX. Subscribe to stay updated on major events, exclusive materials, and operational information.
