“On Monday, December 9, in most of the country the temperature background exceeds the norm, in some regions by more than 16 ° C. The largest deviation from the norm within a week is expected in the North-East of the European Territory, the Polar Urals, in Western and Eastern Siberia, ”the report said.

The reason for such anomalies, according to weather forecasters, was an extensive cyclone from the north of the Atlantic.

“This week, significant positive temperature anomalies are expected in a large territory of Russia. The temperature background will be closest to normal in the south of the European part of the country and in the Far East, with the exception of Chukotka, ”the Hydrometeorological Center noted.

Earlier, the acting head of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, said when from Thursday, December 12, the temperature in Moscow will go to minus indicators.
