Far East sea awash with jellyfish

Among the badly hit areas are Andreevka village, in Khasansky district. Even elderly people cannot recall seeing such numbers of jellyfish in bays on Russia's Pacific coastline. 

Warm weather is blamed, with the peak of the breeding season moved from August to September. Doctors say bathers stung by the jellyfish should wash with cold water, taken painkillers and seek medical assistance. 

Locals are hoping for colder and wetter weather soon, which is expected to disperse the jellyfish.
