Mogilev, on the Dnieper river in eastern Belarus, receives around 650 mm (about 26 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective thunderstorms typical of the region’s continental climate. The river has a generally moderate flow pattern, meaning fast-developing local summer storms represent the more immediate day-to-day weather hazard for the city rather than large-scale river flooding. Hail is a recognized risk for the surrounding farmland during the most intense cells. Because these storms can build quickly on an otherwise calm summer day, radar tracking is a practical tool during the warmer months. Belarus’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
