After a record warm holiday weekend in the metropolitan area, indicators are gradually returning to the climatic norm. According to the Hydrometeorological Center, starting in the middle of the week, the temperature in Moscow will begin to gradually decrease. In the afternoon of March 11 in the capital +8 ... + 10 ° С is expected, in the region +6 ... + 11 ° С. Partly light rain.

The scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, Roman Vilfand, in an interview with RT, said that all week and day and night the thermometer columns will rise above the zero mark. But closer to the weekend, a turning point will occur.

“On Sunday, March 15, due to the north wind, night temperatures will be in the range of -2 ...- 7 ° С, and daytime temperatures will be near zero, -2 ... + 2 ° С. A decrease of 8-10 ° C will occur, ”said Wilfand.

Thus, as the weather forecaster notes, the indicators will approach the norm, that is, "to the usual long-term values ​​characteristic of the third five-day day of March."

According to the forecast of the Hydrometeorological Center, a return to normal will be observed throughout the European territory of Russia, but a small anomaly will still persist.

“The anomaly according to our calculations will be + 0.5 ° С. But in Western Siberia the temperature will be 2-3 degrees above the norm, ”explained the supervisor of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia.

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the temperature will be 3-4 degrees below normal. The region of negative anomalies will shift to Yakutia and the Khabarovsk Territory. According to the forecast of the Hydrometeorological Center, -40 ...- 44 ° С is expected there.

For her part, Tatyana Pozdnyakova, the chief specialist of the Moscow Meteoburo, noted that from a climatic point of view, March should be the winter month, the average daily temperature for March 15 is -2 ...- 3 ° С. It is assumed that it is to these indicators that the thermometer bars will aim at the end of the week.

“The weather will no longer be determined by the warm part of the Atlantic cyclones ... Arctic air will break through to us, then the cold anticyclone will determine the weather, and the fact that frosty weather and precipitation in the form of snow will return to us is clear today,” concluded Pozdnyakova .

In view of the approaching cooling, Villefand in an interview with Interfax recommended that motorists do not yet change winter tires. According to him, it is worth waiting for the end of March.

Long term forecast

Interviewed by RT meteorologists noted that it is too early to predict the weather in the following spring months, and even more so for the summer. According to Tatyana Pozdnyakova, the chief specialist of the Moscow Meteoburo, the climate in Russia is changing toward higher temperatures, but despite the abnormally warm winter, it is impossible to say anything about the following seasons.

“There is no correlation between warm or cold winters and subsequent summers and vice versa. I don’t presume to say unequivocally about what the weather will be this summer, ”said the weather forecaster.

According to her, the Hydrometeorological Center does not take into account what the previous winter or summer was in making monthly and seasonal forecasts. In addition, Pozdnyakova reminded RT that there wasn’t such an extremely warm winter

“When we accumulate a certain number of observations and we have statistics, then it will be possible to say something, for now it is impossible to draw conclusions regarding subsequent processes after an extremely warm winter,” the Moscow Meteuro Bureau specialist emphasized.

At the same time, Yevgeny Tishkovets, a leading specialist at the Fobos weather center, told Rossiyskaya Gazeta that he managed to make a forecast for the summer. According to him, this assessment is based on the latest technology for long-term forecasts, which Tishkovets already used at the end of August last year, when he calculated the forecast for the winter. Then, according to him, the indicators indicated that the winter would be record warm, and this forecast was fully confirmed.

According to the weather forecaster, the summer of 2020 in Russia will be “cool”. On average, indicators one to two degrees will be higher than long-term values.

“The average temperature for the Russian Plain is +20 ... + 25 ° С. If it is warmer, then the temperature corridor will be +21 ... + 26 ° С, +22 ... + 27 ° С. This is an ideal zone of climatic comfort. Everything above +27 ° C is already stress for the body, ”Tishkovets explained.

A specialist at the Phobos weather center has already stated that, according to his calculations, the color of the prognostic temperature maps resembles the color of raspberries, so the upcoming summer can be called “raspberry”.

However, the supervisor of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia Roman Vilfand said that it is too early to make forecasts for the summer. The hydrometeorological center will provide its forecast for the summer period until the end of March.

Villefand also reminded RIA Novosti that in 2017 March was also very warm, but already on April 10 it began to get colder, and on May 9 a temporary snow cover was established. The temperature then did not exceed +5 ° C.
