"The cooling will be so significant that it will affect the temperature drop not only in the Central Federal District, but also to the south," TASS quoted Vilfand as saying.
According to him, on April 26, due to the penetration of cold air masses and increased pressure in the south of Russia, in the Rostov and Volgograd regions, up to -2 ° C is expected.
The forecaster added that frosts are also predicted in Crimea, where the temperature will drop to -1 ...- 3 ° С.
In addition, Vilfand noted that heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected in Sochi, Stavropol and the republics of the North Caucasus in the coming days.
Earlier, Yevgeny Tishkovets, a leading expert at the Phobos weather center, warned Muscovites about the cold weather in the first two weeks of May.
