Emergency warning for June 7, 2026.

      Consultation – warning about the intensity of meteorological phenomena           On June 6, 2026, in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, the following is expected:     • fog at night and in the morning;     • thunderstorms during the day with a brief increase in wind speed up to 15-17 m/s. The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan recommends: In fog: If you notice fog thickening while outdoors, take measures to avoid losing your orientation in the forest or at the water body. Fog poses a danger to all road users. When driving in fog, refrain from unnecessary lane changes, overtaking, and passing. Most road traffic accidents in fog conditions occur with vehicles moving ahead. It is important to consider that fog obscures distance – it is advisable to increase the usual distance and reduce speed.  Avoid sudden braking: if you need to stop, reduce speed smoothly. Press the brake pedal several times to signal drivers of vehicles behind you. Fatigue increases when driving in fog, so caution is essential. If possible, refrain from long-distance trips. When driving in conditions of poor visibility, avoid unnecessary lane changes, overtaking, and passing. Avoid sudden braking: if you need to stop, reduce speed smoothly. Press the brake pedal several times to signal drivers of vehicles behind you. If possible, avoid trips and refrain from long walks outdoors. To drivers: 1. When driving in these conditions, refrain from unnecessary lane changes, overtaking, and passing. 2. Pay attention to the technical condition of the vehicle, especially the braking system and tire condition; 3. Avoid sudden braking; if you need to stop, reduce speed smoothly; 4. Press the brake pedal several times to signal drivers of vehicles behind you; 5. All lights must be in working order; 6. Drive at a speed that ensures safety in busy traffic areas, near schools, at intersections and bridges, as well as on turns and descents. Pedestrians are advised to: 1. Be extremely careful when crossing streets and roads; 2. Cross the street only at designated pedestrian crossings, remembering that due to insufficient visibility and slippery road surfaces, drivers need more time to stop their vehicles. 3. Use, if possible, only overpasses or underpasses to cross the roadway; 4. Do not run across the road in front of moving vehicles; 5. Move only against the flow of traffic; 6. Use a high-visibility vest or attach reflective elements to your clothing. In case of thunderstorms: If you are caught in a thunderstorm while on a bicycle or motorcycle, be sure to stop and wait out the storm at least 30 meters away from your vehicle. Do not continue driving a car, as electronic malfunctions may occur. You should stop, close the car windows, and wait out the bad weather. If you are in an open area during a thunderstorm, it is recommended to lie on the ground (on sandy or rocky soil), preferably in a low area. It is important that there is no river, lake, or pond nearby, as water is a good conductor, and lightning strikes can spread within a radius of 100 meters from a water body. Drivers should be extremely careful while driving. Pedestrians should exercise increased caution when crossing highways and when near them. If possible, refrain from long-distance trips. In case of strong winds: 1. It is recommended to limit going outside, stay indoors. It is important not to leave children unattended. 2. If strong winds catch you outside, it is advisable to take shelter in underground passages or building entrances. Do not hide from strong winds near building walls, as roofing materials may fall from the roofs. This also applies to public transport stops and unfinished buildings. 3. Stay away from advertising billboards, signs, traffic signs, and power lines. 4. Do not stay near large trees, and do not park vehicles near them – broken branches can pose a significant danger. 5. It is deadly dangerous to stand under power lines and approach downed power lines during strong winds. 6. Broken glass falling from upper floors, as well as roofing elements and decorative plaster blown off by the wind, can pose a danger. This threat increases near buildings under construction or renovation.

      

       7. All windows in houses must be tightly closed, and items that could fall outside should be removed from balconies and loggias. 8. Stay as far away from windows in residential or work premises as possible. If possible, refrain from long-distance trips. Pedestrians are advised to cross the street only at designated pedestrian crossings. Do not run across the road in front of moving vehicles, as the braking distance of a car significantly increases due to slippery road surfaces. Move only against the flow of traffic. Use a high-visibility vest or attach reflective elements to your clothing. In case of any trouble, you can always call the unified emergency services number – “112”. Calls are accepted 24/7 and are free from landline and mobile phones.
