Kohtla-Järve, in northeastern Estonia’s industrial Ida-Viru region, receives around 650 mm (about 26 inches) of rain a year, typical of the country’s Baltic climate, with a summer peak from convective storms. The region’s mix of urban and former industrial land can affect local drainage patterns during intense rain, occasionally causing localized flooding in specific low-lying areas. Because the city sits in Estonia’s far northeast, somewhat apart from the country’s main weather-monitoring centers, radar tracking offers a genuinely useful independent check on developing local storms. Estonia’s Environment Agency operates the national weather radar network.
