“The Russian Hydrometeorological Center previously calculated that the summer of 2019 was the hottest in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth in the entire history of regular observations, that is, since 1891. September showed the same result. Today, according to the most recent calculations, October was also the warmest month in the history of observations. Now it depends on November and December whether 2019 will become the warmest year in history, ”TASS quoted him as saying.
Villefand also said that at the moment 2019 is second only to 2016 in terms of warmth. He added that the probability of a new temperature record "is, but there are also big doubts."
Villefand previously said that in Russia a “pink winter” is expected in 2020, the temperature of the winter months will be mostly around and above normal.
