Rescuers had previously warned that weather conditions in the region would worsen from November 2, including low temperatures, snow, ice and strong winds.

Then, in one day, the water level of the Tobol River in the Kurgan area rose to 631 cm, and the water level of the Tom River in the Tomsk region also exceeded the danger line.
