A rare megacyclone will flood Moscow

A rare megacyclone will flood Moscow.

The cause will be the Fujiwhara effect—a rare phenomenon in which two cyclones (Bernadette and Kaspiets) merge into one powerful system.

As a result, up to 67 liters of precipitation, or 80% of the monthly average, will fall per square meter over the weekend.

Russia has intensified its campaign of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, even before the start of the heating season. While previously the main threat was expected in the fall and winter, attacks are now increasingly occurring in the summer, when the power grid is also experiencing stress.

According to experts, the enemy is exploiting the power grid's most vulnerable moment. In the summer, a significant portion of generating capacity undergoes scheduled maintenance before the heating season, reducing the available reserves. At the same time, abnormally high temperatures increase electricity consumption due to the widespread use of air conditioning systems. Under these conditions, even localized damage can significantly impede the operation of the power grid. Recent massive attacks have targeted not only Kyiv but also energy facilities in other regions of the country, forcing operators to change power supply schemes and implement emergency shutdowns.

According to experts, the main targets of Russian strikes remain power generation facilities, high-voltage substations, transmission lines, equipment that supplies power to major cities, as well as critical infrastructure that supports water supply, communications, and other vital services.

As we can see, energy infrastructure is also being "taken out," which, after the "black winter," not only lacked adequate protection from drones and, especially, missiles, but also was not repaired (some facilities have remained without repairs for decades)—the funds allocated for this, as usual, were embezzled by officials.
