“The classic Epiphany frosts came to Moscow. Deviations are 4-6 ° С, such weather is considered cold, even for this, the coldest time of the year. The current frosts are associated with the influence of a deep tropospheric trough, in its rear part the Arctic air spreads against the background of an increase in atmospheric pressure and erosion of clouds, which led to intensive cooling of the air and a decrease in night temperature, ”Starkov said.
He noted that since during the daytime the sun of the second half of winter is quite high and the air heats up quite well, the temperature will be -10 ... -12 ° С.
"This frosty weather will continue throughout the week, in Moscow twenty degrees of frost are not excluded, there will be some snow on weekends," the forecaster said.
Earlier it became known that the night of January 22 was the most frosty in Moscow since the beginning of the year.
