Thunderstorms are approaching Kyiv: a yellow alert has been issued
Weather conditions are expected to deteriorate in Kyiv and the Kyiv region by the end of the day on July 11. Meteorologists are warning of thunderstorms and have issued a Level I hazard alert (yellow).
The Kyiv City State Administration has urged residents and visitors to the capital to exercise caution and, if possible, limit their time outdoors until the storm passes.
During a thunderstorm, it is recommended to stay away from power lines, advertising structures, and large trees, and not to park cars near them due to the risk of falling branches.
In the event of flooded streets, fallen trees, or malfunctioning traffic lights or road signs, Kyiv residents are asked to notify the appropriate city services. If there is a threat to life or if anyone is injured, emergency responders and medical personnel must be called immediately.

As a reminder, Belgium has recorded a sharp rise in mortality amid a severe heat wave. According to the Sciensano Institute of Public Health, the excess mortality rate reached 47%—the highest figure since records began in 2000.
Earlier, average nuclear power generation in France fell below 33 GW, the lowest level in the past nine months, due to the need to limit output at nuclear power plants. The reduction was caused by a critical rise in water temperatures in the rivers used to cool the reactors.
