At the same time, he clarified that on what specific days it is impossible to wait for a cold wave in advance.
According to him, “winter is not expected to be cold,” the temperature in most of the country “will be near and above normal,” but “winter will not be uniform.”
“Why do we think so? There are separate prognostic factors. In a professional language, this is called the “main mode of atmospheric circulation,” said Wilfand.
He explained that this year a “negative phase of the North Atlantic fluctuation” is expected, which means that "there will be frequent disturbances in the zonal circulation, frequent disturbances, which means frequent changes in the weather regime."
The weather forecaster specified that temperature jumps are expected not only in the metropolitan area.
Villefand previously said when the weather in Moscow "will switch to winter mode."
Also in an interview with NSN, he explained which winter is better for Russia - warm or cold.
