meanwhile, forecasters said that anything terrible in it was not. According to the chief of Department of weather forecasts of the Nizhniy Novgorod hydrometeorological centre Olga Mokeeva, black rain can be attributed to strong wind, which picked up the parched topsoil, which then fell to the ground together with the moisture from the clouds.
“the Extraordinary rains, which brought fish, and frogs, could be red or green – the phenomenon known. Any precipitation is associated not only with moisture that falls from the cloud, there is still mixed with the wind, which could bring with it dirt, dust, sand. The local vortex can capture the ashes over a large fire to fall and then the dark rain” – quoted by RIA Novosti Mokeeva.
the Meteorologist said that Chuvashia is located on the border of the forest where there is enough intense heating, and surrounding areas with topsoil. “In the last days was marked by windy weather. In open areas a strong wind could have picked up the parched topsoil, which still isn’t much grass cover, and put it away. There is nothing supernatural, it’s all understandable,” said Olga Mokeeva.
