NEA issues alert on strong winds, heavy rains on November 15

Heavy rains are in the weather forecast on November 15 in western Georgia, particularly across occupied Abkhazia, Adjara, Samegrelo-Zemo-Svaneti, Imereti and Guria regions,” the National Environment Agency (NEA) said.

According to weather forecasters, a magnitude 4-5 storm is expected at the Black Sea with thunderstorms.

The NEA warned that strong winds will blow across most of the country, including the capital; in high-mountain areas, blizzards and fog are possible in some places.

“Heavy rains may cause swelling of rivers and formation and activation of landsliding processes in the mountainous areas and flooding of certain territories in urban settlements (threat level -medium),” the NEA said.
