July is in full swing, along with it the sea resort swimming season. So you want to dip your body, heated by 30-degree heat, into sea foam jets and experience blissful joy. But it wasn’t there .... People who came thousands of miles from their places on the sea to complain about the cool water, the lack of enjoyment from swimming and are forced to lie on the beaches “dry”.

In addition, there were rumors on the Web that the water had changed color and acquired a turquoise hue. What is the reason for these phenomena? Let's start with the cold.

Why is the water in the Black Sea cold in summer

Well, in fact, why in mid-July, doctors and the Ministry of Emergency Situations in Anapa give recommendations on limiting swimming for organized groups of children due to the low temperature of the water in the sea. And adults, to be honest, having plunged into far from gentle waters, run back. Not comfortable!

So it was on the Anapa beaches in early July.

Anapa water temperature chart:

Average daily data. As you can see, the coldest water on the eastern coast of the Black Sea is in Anapa.

First version. Coastal upwelling - this is the name of the phenomenon of the rise of deep sea waters to the surface. That is, the mixing of water, sometimes they also say "turning the sea." For various reasons, surface warm water sinks into the depths, and colder deep layers of water take its place.

The simplest cause of cold water is the wind blowing at a certain angle from the warm land. It drives away the heated mass of water near the shore inland. And the night wind, on the contrary, drives cold sea waters to the shore.

Cyclones of the North-West continue their influence, we feel their Atlantic cold breath and we are here.

To what extent are the surface waters of the Black Sea cooled during upwelling? The difference reaches from 1-2 to 10-15 degrees Celsius. Sometimes there are very sharp jumps in temperature up to 20 °.

When will the water start to warm up? Not right away. Most often, the phenomenon lasts from 2 to 10 days in the period from June to August.

Second version Other experts talk about the influence of the surge phenomenon, which is more typical for winter, but more and more often it began to manifest itself in summer. As a result of it, the water level in the sea, its temperature changes. The cause of the phenomenon may be poor ecology. The same is a constantly observed bloom of water caused by an excess of algae, that is, eutrophication. Plants devour oxygen, soluble in water, which leads to life problems in animals and fish, and therefore to their death. On satellite images you can see how the color of the Black Sea water differs from others. There is simply no one to purify the water, because the microorganisms living here that cope with this have been exhausted.

Third version: the reason is the deep-water pipelayer of the South Stream gas pipeline, aimed at Turkey and located in the Anapa Black Sea waters, just in the area near.

By moving the bottom masses, while strengthening the structures, it raises cold silts to the surface, which cool the water. Sometimes accidental spills of oil products occur, both near the shore and in the waters. And all human activity is aimed not at cleansing, but at polluting the sea.

Fourth reason- self-purification of the sea. A forced process initiated by the sea itself to cool the water to stop the growth of algae and conserve oxygen in the water. Where upwelling often occurs, the water is more saturated with phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. This stimulates the development of phytoplankton, which crustaceans love to eat and therefore provides food for fish.

Whatever it was, you will have to wait a bit or start the hardening process, because water at + 21º + 22º cannot be considered cold, given the belt location of our country. So let's not bask and let's accept what nature gives us with gratitude.

Problems of the Black Sea

About environmental issues in general, and in the Anapa region in particular, they have been talking a lot for a long time, but so far they are only talking. The degree of its pollution has long exceeded all conceivable limits. Anapa has its own trouble - the water blooms! A long-standing problem caused by algae such as damask is not detrimental to the sea, and is even beneficial to human health. We do not consider the aesthetic side.

However, the fact that every year the degree of growth of the algae population in the sea becomes more and more, the volume of distribution is ever wider, and even the installation for catching "green wealth" and recycling acquired by the city does not bring results, is alarming. Despite the coolness, Kamka has already begun its flowering. This, most likely, indicates a violation of the balance of the ecosystem. It is not so easy to fight with nature itself.

Three days ago, together with my guests, I visited all b and her to testify with my own eyes the state of the beaches. The water is actually a little cooler than usual for this time of year, I would even say coldish and did not cause an ardent desire to swim.

Especially low water temperature in the Sukko area, barely exceeding +20, but quite clean and transparent:

On the city beach and the beaches of Dzhemete, as I said, there has already been a tendency for the water to bloom.

Today, after just three days, the sea is getting warmer, the process has started :-). Swimming becomes a pleasure. But for the norm, a couple of degrees are still not enough.

The world's bluest Black Sea turns turquoise

The fact that the Black Sea changes its color in different periods of the year and even the day from dark blue to turquoise has long been known, in any case, immediately upon arrival here, we drew attention to this fact, which is considered quite normal. Moreover, the sea was painted with stripes, those closer to the coast had a pronounced turquoise hue.

Big Utrish, early June 2017. The water really looks a little turquoise.

However, the acquisition of turquoise shade by water becomes permanent. For me, this color is very beautiful, but any phenomenon must have an explanation.

The fact was reported by NASA in the Argumenty Nedeli weekly https://argumenti.ru/science/2017/06/538988.

The well-known American agency backed up its statement with photographs, but the Americans have not yet been able to name the reasons for this phenomenon. Our scientists, as always, are silent. And how would they know? After all, to monitor the situation, to study the underlying processes - you need money, which, as always, is not available for such needs.

The first version of the color change is ecological: the invasion of a special type of phytoplankton, which, by absorbing oxygen, causes irreparable harm to the animal world.

This fact may explain another phenomenon in the Black Sea: the increasingly frequent voluntary release of dolphins onto land. The bodies of these intelligent animals can often be found on the seashore. They simply do not have enough oxygen in the water.

Why did the unfamiliar plankton, unusual for the sea, settle? Most likely, these are the consequences of that ecological sluggishness, mismanagement of human activity, and what is there, complete permissiveness, which can lead to an ecological catastrophe.

The sea itself is trying to solve the problem of water purification and cooling, which is why the very upwelling is launched - the mixing of cold deep layers with warm ones, which inhibits the development of microorganisms, purifying the water.

GENEVA, RIA Federal Press. The World Meteorological Organization has published a report stating that in 2013 the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached a record high in the last 30 years.

In the future, this could threaten with a catastrophe: acidification of the oceans and the extinction of entire species. The survival rate of some marine organisms, including corals and molluscs, may fall sharply, writes ITAR-TASS.

Scientists have calculated that the rate of increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will only increase, at least until the middle of the 21st century. The ocean absorbs about a quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions from human activities on the planet, which does not occur without leaving a trace.

This once again proves that the Black Sea is a living biosystem, with its own character, disposition, laws of development and connection with the universe. Everything in nature is linked and interconnected, and if human activity does not fit into the general order of things, nature begins to change itself, often to the detriment of humanity. What we are convinced of over and over again more and more often.

So maybe it's time to seriously think about the consequences of our activities. At least to the best of your ability not to pollute the spaces around?

I will finish the topic from where I started .... The Black Sea is warming up day by day and is waiting for guests, embracing with its foamy waters everyone who longs to meet him. Waters, albeit slightly turquoise ....

Black Sea water in June 2018

PS: Yesterday 4 June 2018 at The Department of Civil Defense and Population Protection of the resort introduced a temporary ban on swimming in the Black Sea on all beaches of the resort. Swimming in the waters is prohibited due to the low sea temperature until June 5. All responsible persons working in the field of tourist services, parents were given recommendations on strengthening control over compliance with the ban.

Yesterday the water temperature was +17º, in some areas up to +16.5º. The ban on swimming in the sea is not only a warning. If vacationers of the resort ignore it, they will face a fine in the amount of 1 to 5 thousand rubles.

What caused the decrease in water temperature in the Black Sea in June 2018? Still the same cold currents that were driven by the northwest wind that blew from the Atlantic with strong gusts all last week.

The official opening of the holiday season in Anapa will take place on June 11. By this time, we hope, the water will warm up a little to the required +18, and swimming will resume. Or maybe tomorrow. :)

And here is July 8, 2018 streams of sea cold water from the southern waters from Sochi reached Anapa. The swimming season is again suspended, only the brave ones swim in the icy streams of the Black River, which have dropped to +16º on the beaches of Anapa, and even less than +13º in Novorossiysk. Forecasters predict a recovery of the situation by July 13. But only the Black Sea itself knows when it will again be pleasantly warm, comfortable and soft in summer.

Why can't you swim in cold water? Everything is simply banal. "Walrus" - upwelling on the drum. For everyone else, it is fraught with cramps of the limbs, which leads to death and possible colds. Yes, it's just uncomfortable.

Black Sea summer 2019

The holiday season was opened a week ago. The water approached the mark +21º +22º. And today, in the Dzhemete area, on June 18, I personally experienced a cold sea current. The water is not higher than +18, really cold. Brrr!!! People hardly swim. The beaches are deserted. Peace and quiet!

So only a few daredevils. I think the reasons are the same as above. By the way, damask-algae appeared. Anapa's trouble.

Although a week ago the sea was clean and the water was warm. Rather, algae began to grow in warm water, and for self-purification, the sea "turned over" again. I think two, three at most five days and the water will become warm again.

Summer is running out, but the Black Sea in the Anapa region has not yet pleased us with its warm jets. Doesn't make it to +24. Even in Dzhemet in the milky water it is cool, it is even colder in Sukko and in B. Utrish - it is deeper there. But the sea coolness invigorates at night, despite the 30-degree heat during the day. And it pleases. 2019 is the best summer for us residents of Anapa. I sympathize with the guests. On the other hand, it is more comfortable to rest, there is no heat and stuffiness.

This is how cold summer 19 is 🙂

Currently, the water in the Black Sea is very, very cold. You can only wash your feet, and then, a hardened person. However, experts believe that after a few days the water will become much warmer, so you can fully relax.

So, weather forecasters assure that the sea will become warmer after the twelfth day of the current month.

At this time, there are a lot of people in Russian resorts. Everyone goes only to get to the sea, because there are no such resorts on the territory of the Russian Federation where you can swim in the sea all year round.

However, now luck has turned away from tourists, so for now you can only enjoy the sea views, and the most courageous can wash their feet in the sea. Now the sea temperature is very low to dive and enjoy the summer. Experts note that the water will begin to warm up only after the twelfth of July.

So, resorts located in Sochi and Novorossiysk are not very relevant. In the past few days, the water temperature in Sochi is kept at thirteen degrees, and in Novorossiysk - twenty.

You can swim in the Black Sea only in Anapa and Gelendzhik, because here the temperature reaches twenty-six degrees.
In addition, upwelling can be seen in Sochi. This is a phenomenon during which the wind pulls back warm water, instead of which cold waves wash up on the shore. In the Black Sea, the difference can reach up to sixteen degrees.

Why is the water in the Black Sea so cold?

The first simplest explanation of the situation is given by specialists involved in the study of sea water quality: Cold spring and summer that does not begin for a long time, could not warm up the deep waters in time. And even now the weather in the Central region does not indulge us, and here on the Black Sea coast the nights are still cool and, despite the fact that the heat has set in throughout the day, it will not be able to save the situation at once. The Black Sea is not a bath or a font; it will not work to warm up a colossus with a volume of 555 thousand km³ at once.

The second version Other experts talk about the influence of the surge phenomenon, which is more typical for winter, but more and more often it began to manifest itself in summer. As a result of it, the water level in the sea, its temperature changes. The cause of the phenomenon may be poor ecology. The same is a constantly observed bloom of water caused by an excess of algae, that is, eutrophication. Plants devour oxygen, soluble in water, which leads to life problems in animals and fish, and therefore to their death. On satellite images you can see how the color of the Black Sea water differs from others. There is simply no one to purify the water, because the microorganisms living here that cope with this have been exhausted.

Forecasters explained why it is forbidden to swim in the waters of Anapa

Kuban weather forecasters said that the water temperature at the height of the swimming season decreased along the entire northern part of the coast Krasnodar Territory. The cold center is located in Novorossiysk, where the sea "froze" to 13 degrees, in Tuapse the water is 16 degrees, the same in Anapa.

The decrease in temperature in the Black Sea in summer is usually caused by cold currents that come close to the coast. The movement of air masses also plays a role.

According to the employees of the hydrometeorological center of the Krasnodar Territory, tourists in Anapa and other cities will very soon again be able to treat themselves to sea bathing. “In general, warm water is returning, and it is enough for us that the wind changes, and everything will be fine for vacationers. Literally two or three days and everything will change, ”the weather service noted.

However, periods of cooling may repeat several more times during the summer.

“Literally in a few days, the surge (of water temperature) may begin again, and it cannot be said that cold water will go away, only warm water will remain. Everything depends on small synoptic processes,” the hydrometeorological center said.

The number of passengers traveling by plane to the Black Sea resorts has already increased by 1.5 times compared to last year, calculated at Vnukovo airport. Another news - the Black Sea has become turquoise due to algae blooms. Ecologists say that this is an indicator of good water quality. "AiF" checked what is happening on the beaches of the Krasnodar Territory.

Sochi: where to eat and swim?

Sochi holds the brand of an elite resort. True, in June the weather was not encouraging. But the city hosts Confederations Cup matches, and the atmosphere is festive. The further summer program is also rich: you can visit performances of the Du Soleil circus, ice shows, and music festivals.

Yes, holidays in Sochi remain expensive. However, places have appeared where you don’t have to pay 1000 rubles for lunch - many inexpensive canteens have opened in the city. In restaurants, chefs offer dishes prepared from local products: Cossack lamb ribs, borscht with donuts and bacon, dumplings.

Open-top double-decker tour buses roam the streets. “Before, there were no such people in the city,” says a local resident. V. Mikhailenko. “I myself recently took a ride from Sochi to the Olympic Park and listened to an overview lecture.”

“I came to Sochi for the first time,” says Tatiana Babchinskaya. - I settled with my husband and a small child in the Imeretinskaya lowland - near the Olympic Park, Sochi Park. We also visited Rosa Khutor. Everything is very beautiful, European-impressive. But Adler was unpleasantly struck: chaotic tent trade does not paint the resort at all.

The beaches of Sochi, while there are few tourists, remain quite clean. However, locals recommend going to the Olympic Park for swimming. “There is an open sea, and even before the Olympic construction, when there were wild beaches here, the locals preferred to swim and sunbathe in this place,” advises V. Mikhailenko. “Now everything is landscaped, and the quality of the water has not deteriorated.”

Anapa: warm sea, algae, low prices

shallow sea, sandy beaches: Anapa is a resort for families with children. And the city was filled with tourists from the very beginning of the summer holidays. Among the new entertainments: the Bora Bora aqua complex, the Sukko Valley park, the Zip Line extreme attraction.

“We are 100% loaded,” says the hotel owner Edward Bedrosov. - But early booking almost none now. Although 7-8 years ago, when the economic situation was more stable, the numbers were sold already in January. And we haven't raised prices for several years."

“In my opinion, holidays in Anapa are a little cheaper than in other resorts in the region,” says the tourist Elena Vdovichenko. “But there are few places that accept bank cards, so I advise you to take more cash with you.”

At the end of July - in August, algae appear in the Anapa Sea. Their scientific name is "stray cladophora", and colloquially - damask. When the water temperature rises to 23 degrees (and last year it reached 27-28 degrees), the damask begins to multiply rapidly - it grows up to 120 meters per day. These algae are filamentous, and it is almost impossible to get them out of the water. Local authorities are trying to solve the problem: they are negotiating the purchase of equipment for harvesting algae from abroad. By the way, they are also common on other beaches in the world, for example in Italy.

Gelendzhik: embankment, mountains, pines

This year, Gelendzhik has renovated its embankment (by the way, the longest in Europe - 12 km) - a new section has been built overlooking the sea. There are also bike paths and exercise equipment. Around the flowers. In general, everything is like the best resorts peace.

“I love Gelendzhik for the mountains, the sea and the pines,” admits Anna Zubova from Khabarovsk. - This year I was pleasantly surprised that all the stalls led to a single style. All are located on one side and do not spoil the view. New entertainments appeared at the resort. This is the Roman Park, where you can see performances from the life of the ancient Romans, and the largest fountain in the region.

Dolmens, waterfalls, caves

What are the must-sees in Sochi and its environs?

A. Staroverov, Murmansk

Among the most popular excursions in Sochi is, of course, a trip to the sites of the 2014 Winter Olympics and Krasnaya Polyana. But in the vicinity of the "summer" Russian capital there are many other completely unique sights.

So, in Skypark you need to walk along one of the longest in the world pedestrian bridges. Its length is 439 m, height is 207 m. The bridge is supported by 8 cables.

Do not forget to visit the Matsesta Valley - its healing hydrogen sulfide springs. In her clinic, everyone can visit a doctor and get a referral for a bath course.

Another point of attraction is the Eagle Rocks, where, having climbed to a height of 379 m, you will see the sculpture of Prometheus.

Agur waterfalls are cascades of water falling into the Blue Lake, where you can swim. However, in the Sochi region there are waterfalls on almost every river, and for tourists they even created a route called "33 waterfalls". It is interesting to visit the Vorontsov caves, which have 10 entrances, and the Volkonsky dolmen - the only monolithic one in the world stone house. He is at least 5 thousand years old! Scientists are still wondering who and why it was built. In total, there are 200 dolmens in the Sochi region.

We, as a rule, are very surprised at the seemingly completely ridiculous death in the water of people who know how to swim and feel confident at depth. Often, alcohol intoxication is considered the cause of such inexplicable accidents, but in reality, a phenomenon takes life, which, alas, only a few know about - a rip current.

We will talk about what it is and how to escape if you are not lucky enough to be in such an unfortunate place.

So, rip current is a very, very dangerous thing that can kill even professional swimmers.

Attempts to get away from the current lead to nothing, and the person is simply seized by a panic state.

The most dangerous is considered to be the rip currents of shallow seas with gentle shores, since sandy spits do not allow water to return to the sea at low tide. The water pressure in the strait connecting the estuary and the sea increases, which forms a rapid, and in the middle of the sea a kind of river appears with a flow rate of up to 2.5-3.0 m / s.

This is how it looks when the flow is reversed towards the sea, perpendicular to the shore.

This often happens near the beach during high tides, after which the waves return at different speeds, forming a reverse current.

This is how it might look:

The seething water is not visible here, but the current itself is noticeable and, alas, the people who fell into it:

As a rule, the rip current corridor is narrow: 2-3 meters with a current speed of 4-5 km/h. This rip is not dangerous. But if its width reaches 50 m, and the length is 200-400 meters with a current speed of 15 km / h, this phenomenon becomes deadly!

The signs of a rip current are:

a section of bubbling water perpendicular to the shore
area near the shore with a changed color of the water
foam, algae and bubbles that move steadily from the shore to the open sea
discontinuities in continuous wave bands

But it should be remembered that 80% of dangerous rip currents are usually invisible!

As a rule, rips occur near the shore and can carry a person standing in the water to the waist into the sea, so you should not go into the water alone, especially if you are not a very good swimmer.

Rules of conduct in the rip current

Do not panic! Calm down and use your common sense. Remember that if you know these rules, in 100 cases out of 100 you will be able to get out of the current!
Save your strength! Do not resist the current and do not swim to the shore - it is useless. Begin to swim calmly to the side, parallel to the shore. If the rip is narrow, you will get out of it very soon.
If the rip is wide (from 20 meters or more)... If it became clear that the rip is wide enough, you should relax on the water and not panic. Remember that the reverse current cannot be long, which means that after 5 minutes it will stop, after which you can swim in the direction of 50-100 meters and head towards the shore. Do not swim towards the shore, as soon as you feel that the current has stopped, it may arise again!

Remember the following!

Fender techEnenie never pulls to the bottom. It's not a whirlpool. It moves from the coast along the surface, and not in depth.
The rip current corridors are not wide. Often their width does not exceed 50 meters, and even more often - 10-20 m. That is, you can get out of the rip by swimming 20-30 meters along the coast.
The length of the rip current is limited. It quickly weakens and ends where the waves peak and break. Surfers call this the "line up" where they usually try to catch a wave. It is located no further than 100 meters from the shore.

Anapa

Anapa! Don't hesitate to come here!

Anapa!!! Most terrible place where I stayed with the kids. I'll start with our trip... we were traveling by train... for an early choice of a hotel house in a walnut grove... a deluxe room! The description said it was 5 minutes to the beach. !! in real life, to go down to the beach itself, you need to spend min. 30!!! Since there is a fence along the perimeter! It was also described that the house has a kitchen for your own use! There is none! There is a canteen with a decent price tag! But they cook quite well .. the average price tag is 450 rubles for lunch and this is for 1 person! Given the fact that I am here with two children, this is a horse price tag! For dining in guest house... I still counted on the communal kitchen, which was stated in the description! There is none! The room should be cleaned every two days, we are here 5 days. There was never a cleaning of the room .... In general ... I am very dissatisfied with such a reception for such money! Next, I will describe the story of how we went down all the same to the beach. On the beach... as stated that it is pebbly... it is simply not possible to enter the water safely. There are no pebbles in the water! The whole bottom is strewn with huge stones, the stones are all slippery in slime ... just awful !!! it is impossible to walk safely at least 5 meters ... the water is muddy ... dirty! Swimming is definitely not an option! The beach is a separate issue ((there are a lot of cafes on the beach with complete unsanitary conditions ... they didn’t dare to eat there ... there is no communication in any cafe, how they carry out their activities remains a very big question! But they cook food there! As I understand it that they take water from the sea and pour it behind the cafe right on the ground ... I personally saw it, passing by the cafe there is a persistent smell of spoiled food .. how can you eat there! Next, I will describe what a sandy beach is! The performance is good here, you can put all 10 points! we are in shock! The child’s whole body is covered with a small rash and blisters! I contacted the dermatologists and they said it was streptoderma! The water does not meet the standards for bathing! And everyone is silent about it! We are being treated for the second day ... the child is 4 years old! How to describe your shock from what is happening I do not even know( (I think many people can guess for themselves ((in general, the city is in no way suitable for recreation ... old streets, a bunch of quarters with old houses where there are not even playgrounds in the yards, a dirty sea, a pebble beach is not intended for swimming at all, inflated housing prices , locals they sell everything they can at inflated prices, the stores have the same story (((calculating the amount that I get for 5 days of staying here ... I could fly to Egypt with the children at an all-inclusive rate, and this includes air travel! A walnut grove that this is how all guidebooks advertise, in real life there are thousands of parks in russia ... there is nothing surprising there .. small lawns with ordinary garden roses already fading ... in the park there is a very modest fantanchik and a mowed lawn ... as well as one child. a play complex on which there is one slide and a ladder .. this will definitely not be enough for your children ((so there is nothing to do in the park with children! The result of our vacation, tickets were taken from us on the 30th ... the vacation is 100% spoiled !! Money spent impressive! The sea is dangerous for health, take care of your children, protect the health of your children. Food ... do not risk going to a cafe! They will feed you and then your problems ((Horror is just terrible!! In all my life I have not seen a worse vacation. Do not hesitate to relax in Anapa! gee deception! The local population does not try to provide good conditions, they only rip off huge money from tourists! I will never come back here again in my life. When planning your vacation with children, it is better to fly abroad, to proven places, take care of yourself and the health of your children. I am attaching a photo of our vacation ((

The Black Sea has turned turquoise. What happens on Russian beaches? The Black Sea: what threats does it carry What is happening on the Black Sea coast
