Avalanche risk increased in mountainous areas

The Uzhydromet service has warned about the possibility of dangerous natural events occurring in the mountainous regions of Uzbekistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to official information, from December 17 to 22, due to changes in weather conditions, increased precipitation, and a drop in temperature, the risk of avalanches will increase in some areas. In particular, this risk may be observed in the mountainous districts of Kashkadarya, Surkhandarya, Samarkand, Jizzakh, Tashkent, and Namangan regions.

Especially, settlements and recreational areas located at the foothills are in the danger zone, and residents and visitors in these places need to be cautious. Experts urge residents, tourists, and drivers traveling on mountain roads in these areas to strictly follow safety rules.

Any negligence can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, all citizens should take precautionary measures and adhere to official warnings.
