St. Petersburg experienced its first July flood in 160 years following the arrival of Cyclone Engin, which brought heavy rains and stormy winds reaching speeds of up to 28 meters per second. Water levels in the Neva River rose more than 180 centimeters, prompting the closure of the city's dam that protects against flooding and the suspension of navigation. The flooding submerged streets and parks, including the Dubki park in Sestroretsk, and caused damage such as uprooted trees and torn roofs. Authorities issued a yellow weather danger warning extended through July 5. Meanwhile, Moscow faced severe weather with torrential rains and thunderstorms causing flash floods across central and suburban areas. The city received nearly half its monthly rainfall within hours, leading to flooded streets, underground walkways, shopping malls, and parking lots. Lightning strikes were reported near the Ostankino TV Tower, and local authorities urged residents to stay indoors. Despite the flooding and transportation disruptions, no injuries have been officially reported in Moscow.
