“The height of the snow will increase, and the likelihood that it will be possible to ski on weekends will be very high. Already, the average snow height in Moscow is about 8 cm, from 5 to 9 cm in the region. Now it will be denser, because precipitation is predicted: it will be possible to ski and children to be sledded. This was previously impossible, although the snow fell, ”said Villefand.
According to him, in early February in the metropolitan area it is worth preparing for lowering the temperature.
“February 1, a slight decrease in temperature, at night -4 ... -2 ° C, in the region to -7 ° C. This is still warm weather, but already negative values, and daytime temperatures -1 ... 0 ° C in Moscow, in the region down to -4 ° C. On the first day of February, a slight frost is expected, day and night. On February 2, this trend will continue, night temperature -5 ° ... 0 ° C, daytime near zero. On February 3, day and night, the temperature will be near zero, and we still predict that precipitation will fall in the form of snow and wet snow. There was a chance that there will be a slight drop in temperature from February 4, ”said the weather forecaster.
The specialist noted that the temperature background in early February will be similar to the traditional winter one.
“The weather will approach that which can be called winter. It is very important that the snow fell, it pleases the eye, and it does not melt, it has already been established. We enter February with snow, ”concluded Villefand.
