Sapozhnikov told RIA Novosti that brown and red algae grow in the Black Sea.
“They grow in very large numbers by the end of June, and then storms begin,” the expert noted.
According to him, this is due to the fact that the air is very hot, and the water does not have time to warm up accordingly, which leads to storms.
“And what we see on the shore, fresh blockages, they consist of 90% of torn off red filamentous algae.
They float in the water column in the form of small pieces," Sapozhnikov emphasized.
The expert noted that algae do not pose a danger to humans.
Earlier, the leading specialist of the Phobos Center, Mikhail Leus, in an interview with radio Komsomolskaya Pravda, told what weather should be expected this week in the Black Sea resorts of Russia.
