Forecasters believe that March in the capital region will be warm.

This was reported in the Phobos center.

"The development of the synoptic situation in the last days of the calendar winter and forecasts for the first week of March, allow us to conclude that, in general, the first month of spring will delight the residents of the capital region with rather warm weather," the center said.

According to forecasters "Phobos", on average, the temperature background will be 1-2 ° C above normal.

As noted by meteorologists, this will be especially noticeable at the beginning of the second half of the month.

At the same time, the first week of the month will be marked by unstable and dramatically changing weather.

These features will remain throughout the month, emphasized in Phobos.

Speaking about the temperature in the coming days, forecasters noted that the metropolitan region will be alternately in the warm part of the cyclone and in the zone of the ridge of high atmospheric pressure.

So, on Tuesday the temperature is expected to be 0 ... + 5 ° С, and on Saturday night it will get colder to -5 ...- 10 ° С.

“The second week of March will be cooler, and the temperature background will be close to the climatic norm; during this period, a rather strong Arctic invasion is possible,” stated Phobos.

At the same time, with the beginning of the second half of March, snow melting and an increase in daytime temperatures on some days up to + 3 ... + 8 ° C are expected.

Forecasters noted that the last week of March "will slightly slow down the warming", but "the spring can no longer be stopped."

Anatoly Tsygankov, Deputy Head of the Situation Center of Roshydromet, believes that the cyclone that brought the abnormal heat continues to affect the capital region.

“The next warm sector will come to us on March 2.

The pressure has increased this night and will continue to grow.

Therefore, we expect -3 ..- 5 ° C at night.

Cloudy weather will be almost until Friday, "Tsygankov said in an interview with RT.

He added that on Monday, March 1, +1 .. + 3 ° С is expected during the day.

However, in the region during the day in the lowlands it can be up to -2 ° С.

The forecaster continued that on Tuesday it would get warmer up to +1 .. + 3 ° С at night and +3 .. + 5 ° С during the day.

“On Wednesday nights +1 ..- 1 ° С, in some places up to -4 ° С.

During the day, +1 .. + 3 ° С is expected.

On Thursday nights + 0 ...- 5 ° С and +1 .. + 6 ° С during the day.

On Friday night it is cooler -4 ... -9 ° С, during the day around + 1 ... + 4 ° С.

On Saturday night -6 ...- 11 ° С, and during the day + 1 ... + 4 ° С, ”Tsygankov said.

Minor precipitation is expected next week, he said.

It may rain on March 2 and 3, and snow on March 5 and 6.

He also noted that the height of the snow cover against the background of present weather has decreased by 10 cm, but the drifts remain above normal values.

Tatiana Pozdnyakova, chief specialist of the Moscow meteorological office, is of the opinion that the first "five-day week" in March will be warm.

“Tomorrow in Moscow the minimum temperature is about -5 ° C, but the daytime temperature will be positive +1 .. + 3 ° C.
