“This week, due to heavy precipitation, the avalanche danger will persist at altitudes over 2.5 thousand meters in the Krasnodar Territory (except for the municipal district of the resort town of Sochi) and the Republic of Adygea, as well as over two thousand meters in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal districts.
High risks of melting snow masses will also remain in the mountain ranges of the Far Eastern and Siberian federal districts and the Murmansk region, "- said in a statement on the Institute's website.
For this reason, the risk of injury to people skiing and snowboarding in unauthorized places increases, said Igor Sosunov, deputy head of the institute.
Earlier, meteorologist Alexander Shuvalov, in an interview with URA.RU, spoke about the "weather fever" in a number of regions of Russia since January 12.
