He clarified that until Wednesday, Moscow residents expect cloudy weather without significant precipitation and a temperature of about 0 ° C.
"The second part of the week will be marked by cataclysms associated with the North Atlantic cyclone with the symbolic name" Greta ", which is now gaining strength over the British Isles," RIA Novosti quoted Tishkovets as saying.
The forecaster said that starting from Wednesday, low intensity snowfalls are predicted in Moscow.
“However, on Friday and Saturday night, with the release of“ diving Greta ”, whose center will pass through Moscow, the weather will deteriorate sharply - powerful snowfalls and blizzards will fall on Muscovites and residents of Central Russia,” the expert added.
According to Tishkovets, up to 20-25 millimeters of precipitation is expected in the capital, which is almost half of the entire December norm.
"The snowdrifts in the capital will double - from 10 to 20 centimeters, in the Moscow region in some places up to 25 centimeters, which corresponds to the long-term norm of the end of December," - said the meteorologist.
Earlier forecasters said that in 2021, in most of the European territory of Russia, spring warming will begin in March earlier than usual.
