“As for the climate, we used to lag behind by about a month, but from the coming days the lag will begin by a month and a half. The temperature in the center of the European part of Russia will exceed the norm by 7-8 degrees. This is due to the fact that in the coming days, starting tomorrow evening, very warm air masses from the South Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea will come to European Russia. And we predict that the daytime temperature will be positive starting from tomorrow - + 1 ... + 3 ° С. And at the beginning of next week, until Thursday, the daytime temperature is expected to be + 2 ... + 5 ° C, and the night temperature is + 0 ... + 1 ° C, ”Villefand said.

The weather forecaster noted that the sun's rays, in principle, "now do not play any value."

“Their energy is now minimal. I repeat, the solstice date will come in a week. Therefore, the sun, being above the horizon, does not affect the temperature. Therefore, there is practically no diurnal course and the temperature will be almost the same day and night. From tomorrow light rain and sleet are forecasted. The nearest cold snap will come only next week on Friday, ”he added.

Earlier, the Hydrometeorological Center reported that abnormal weather is expected in the European part of Russia in the coming days.
