Volga Baikal AGRO NEWS Update on the WINTER WEATHER FORECAST in RUSSIA !!!
Winter has come in its own right throughout the vast territory of Russia. What is it bringing? Low temperatures, snow, snow cover are its main manifestations.
But the range of winter weather is much wider, and this winter (like all previous and subsequent ones) can not be without heavy snowfalls, blizzards, snow drifts, severe frost, thaws, wet snow sticking, ice-frost phenomena and fogs. The territory of Russia is large and diverse in terms of physical and geographical conditions, so the frequency of these adverse weather conditions varies greatly in different regions. In Yakutia and Siberia, there are traditionally severe frosts, on the coast of the eastern and Arctic seas – strong winds and snowstorms. In the European part of the country, frosts that came from the Urals can be replaced by heavy snowfalls and thaws brought by western or southern cyclones.
The temperature in the central regions and in the Volga region, as well as in places in the northern regions at the beginning of the 3-rd week will remain below the climatic norm by 8-12°C. In the central regions on the night of January 19, the frost will increase in the Kostroma region up to minus 33°C, in the Ryazan region – up to minus 30°C. Basically, the night temperature will be in the range of minus 27°C – 20°C, during the day minus 19°C – 12°C. On January 19 in the Bryansk region there is abnormally cold weather with an average daily temperature below the climatic norm by 7-10°C. On January 19-20, abnormally cold weather with an average daily temperature below the climatic norm is expected in the Smolensk region by 7-10°C, Oryol region by 7-12°C. On January 19-21, abnormally cold weather with an average daily temperature below the climatic norm by 7°C or more is predicted in the Voronezh region, in the Kursk and Belgorod regions by 7-12°C.
On January 20, in the area of high atmospheric pressure in the Central area, light snow will pass in some places. The prevailing air temperature at night is minus 22°C – minus 15°C, sometimes up to minus 30°C; during the day minus 17°C – minus 12°C, in the west up to minus 8°C.
On January 21, under the influence of the warm atmospheric front of the Atlantic cyclone, snow will pass in the area, the wind will increase in some places up to 12-17 meters per second with a blizzard. Ice is expected in some areas in the afternoon. The prevailing air temperature at night is minus 20°C – minus -13°C, in the south-east up to minus 25°C; in the afternoon minus 12°C – minus 5°C, in the west up to 0°C.
In addition to the central regions, it is abnormally cold in the coming days of January 19 – 20 in the north of the Volga Federal Area: the temperature is below the climatic norm by 7°C or even more. At night of January 19 in the north of the Volga region minus 30°C – minus 33°C, in the Middle Volga region minus 25°C – minus 30°C.
Such phenomena as heavy snow, blizzard, wet snow, ice, and heavy fog can be predicted within about 3 days (with subsequent refinement and detailing of forecasts and warnings with less advance time). Longer-lasting and covering vast areas of the cold wave can be predicted with greater advance.
