Beach access restored in Sochi following the storm.
So here's the deal:
The sun finally made an appearance over Sochi on June 18, after a bout of inclement weather. The city had been pummeled by rain, thunder, and hail, leaving streets kind of a mess and beaches off-limits for a swim. But the storm had passed, and the city's bigwigs gave the thumbs-up for folks to dive back into the ocean. All the beaches were good to go, operating as usual.
Before the green light, specialists had given the coastal areas a good clean up and Rospotrebnadzor folks had snagged some water samples. Both came back clear. However, beach administrations were still keeping an eye on some regions with rough seas, making their own calls on whether it was safe to take a dip.
As reported by Yuga.ru, jet-setters have caught a glimpse of some oil on the beaches in Novorossiysk and Sochi. But hold up, there's no solid evidence to prove this, and during our search, we couldn't find any formal reports or notices about the condition of the beaches in Sochi or Novorossiysk following the bad weather in June. So, whether there was an oil spill or not, remains unclear as of now.
And here's a pro-tip for beachgoers: the sea temperature in Sochi is comfy at 21°C, and the beaches are open from 08:00 to 20:00. But remember, keep your eyes peeled for rough seas and err on the side of caution when deciding to take a dip. Safe travels!
