“In January, the temperature variability is two times higher than in July. Because there is little sun. In summer, the sun heats even cold air. Therefore, strong temperature fluctuations are rare, ”he explained.

According to him, the time interval between the transition of air temperature from stably negative to stably positive values ​​is gradually decreasing.

In addition, during the winter months there is a rapid increase in average temperature indicators.

In particular, in Moscow in recent years, the average air temperature in January increased by 2 ° С.

At the same time, a similar trend occurs in the summer, however, it is not so intense.

Previously, weather forecasters promised that in the coming winter in most of Russia, temperatures close to the values ​​of long-term average values ​​are expected.

Moreover, according to forecasts of the Hydrometeorological Center, anomalies with a plus sign are possible in the north of Russia, and minus signs in the south.
