The summer season in Anapa, famous for its sunny climate and warm waters, has become an unpleasant surprise for tourists this year. pixabay.com On the usual hot days, instead of comfortable swimming on the beaches of the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, they encountered icy water, which was a shock for many. Icy water instead of a soft sea Denis, a tourist from Krasnodar, shares his surprise: “The water is cold, like in January, when they celebrate Epiphany. This is not at all what I expected.” Zhanna from Perm Krai was also disappointed: “My daughter and I have not been able to swim for two days – the water is too cold. We just dive in and immediately go ashore.” The sea water temperature on the coast of Anapa dropped to 16 degrees, despite the 36-degree heat on land, which became a real test for vacationers. Causes of the sudden cold snap: upwelling Experts explain such a sharp cooling of the water by the phenomenon of upwelling – the rise of cold deep water to the surface, which leads to a rapid decrease in temperature. A similar phenomenon was recently observed off the coast of Sochi. However, despite this phenomenon, many weather stations continue to show the water temperature at about 24 degrees, which misleads tourists. Impact on recreation and safety Local authorities were forced to impose restrictions on the use of inflatable watercraft due to strong currents caused by upwelling. Local residents note that there are significantly fewer swimmers. The water temperature is expected to rise in the coming days if the weather conditions stabilize and there are no more storms. However, upwelling is a natural phenomenon for the Black Sea, which periodically presents such surprises. Conclusions. The sudden cooling of the water was an unpleasant surprise for tourists, but this only emphasizes the unpredictability of the weather even in summer. Experts advise not to cancel a trip to Anapa, as the situation may change in the near future. In addition, the resort offers many other activities and entertainment besides the beach that can compensate for the temporary inconvenience of cold water.
