According to weather forecasters, difficult weather conditions are expected in some regions of Ukraine until the end of the week. In particular, rains, storms, 15-20 m/s squally wind gusts are forecasted in the Odessa region for the next couple of days. DTEK crews were transferred to the high alert mode in order to eliminate blackouts in case of weather worsening.

Difficult weather conditions lead to mass emergencies on electrical equipment, broken power transmission lines due to strong wind gusts, fallen branches or trees and, consequently, loss of electricity for many customers in the Odessa region.

We remind residents of the Odessa and Odessa region that it is recommended to stay at home during bad weather and be careful,” – said representative of the company.
