The head of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, Roman Vilfand, named the dates for the arrival of Indian summer. According to the forecaster, it usually occurs in mid-September.

“There is an opinion that Indian summer starts on September 14, but this is not the case. There are no clear dates for its coming. Indian summer is a period of warm weather after a prolonged bad weather, therefore, before we can enjoy it, we will have to get really wet, shiver from the cold. It usually comes in September or early October, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

The head of the Hydrometeorological Center explained that this phenomenon is associated with the arrival of the Azov anticyclone.

“If after rains and gloomy weather there is an improvement, even if it is not connected with the Azov anticyclone, it is still wonderful and everyone is happy to say that Indian summer has come. Meteorologists in these cases, giving up their professional attitude, agree, because someone loves cool weather, someone - hot, but everyone is always waiting for Indian summer, ”said Wilfand.

According to the forecast of the Hydrometeorological Center, the average temperature will most of all exceed the norm in the capital region, in the south of the European part, as well as near Lake Baikal.

It will be 4 ° C warmer than the norm in the south of Eastern Siberia: west of Krasnoyarsk, in the south of Yakutia, as well as in the area of ​​Lake Baikal.

Vilfand told RIA Novosti that the average temperatures begin to change dramatically downward in the second half of August. This decline will continue in September. 

In a conversation with RT, he clarified that the first week of September in the center of European Russia is expected to be very comfortable.

“Slightly above normal, about 2 ° C. Daytime temperatures are around +20 ° C, and at night + 9 ... + 12 ° C. But this feeling will be somewhat blurred by the very hot weather forecast on the last day of August. Tomorrow, August 31, Moscow is forecast to be around 30 ° C. This is very unusual. Very hot weather due to the advection of southern air masses that formed in southern Africa and Central Asia. And so in the future there will be a feeling of cold snap, ”he said.

On September 1, according to Vilfand, the temperature will drop by 7-8 ° C compared to August 31. Compared to the climatic norm, this temperature background will be higher than the norm, the specialist explained.

“And what is important to add, because of the anticyclone, the next week is predicted mainly without precipitation,” he added.

The chief specialist of the Moscow meteorological office, Tatyana Pozdnyakova, in a conversation with RT, also spoke about the upcoming weather in Moscow.

“On Monday, the temperature in Moscow will be quite high, + 28 ... + 30 ° С. Then the temperature regime will change and the temperature will gradually decrease. Significant precipitation is not expected until the middle of next week. On Monday, due to the rather fresh wind, the temperature will be felt as + 25 ° С, ”she said.

From the first to the fourth rainfall is not expected, the nights will gradually become cool. On the first day, + 17 ... + 19 ° С is expected at night, and + 22 ... + 24 ° С during the day. The average daily temperature will be about +19 ° C, which for September 1 is higher than the climatic norm by about 5 ° C, the specialist explained.

It will get cooler in the following days and nights. At night +10 ° С, in the region +8 ° С, and in the daytime + 20 ... + 22 ° С.

“We can say that the first five days of September will be warm in summer,” she added.

We will remind, earlier the expert of the weather center "Phobos" Yevgeny Tishkovets warned residents of Moscow about the rains and thunderstorms, which are expected on Sunday, August 30.

“Today the synoptic situation will be determined by the warm sector of the Atlantic cyclone, which is why from time to time the sky will be a little frowning, here and there fleeting rains will sprinkle with an 80% probability of weak thunderstorms, which, however, will not prevent the air temperature from being 4-5 ° C. With above the climatic norm, "- quotes a specialist RIA Novosti.

According to him, under such conditions in Moscow it is cloudy with clearings, in some places light rain is possible. The temperature in the capital is + 22-24 ° С, in the Moscow region - + 20-25 ° С.
