Downpours expected in most parts of Armenia

A powerful cyclone will make landfall in Armenia late on Wednesday, delivering torrential rain and thunderstorms to most parts of the country.

Some regions of Armenia will see a monthly norm of precipitation on Thursday, Gagik Surenyan, Deputy Director of the Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center, said in a social media post.

Downpours could cause rivers to overflow their banks, meteorologists warned.

Temperatures are set to drop by 6-9C from Thursday to Saturday.
