Forecaster spoke about the likelihood of a "red heat" in the Northern Hemisphere

Reported by RIA Novosti.

According to him, the average air temperatures in the last month of spring and the first month of summer in the Northern Hemisphere will be above normal with a 70% probability.

That is why, he noted, the weather forecast map published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is colored red.

“The forecast for May, June, July is presented ... This is not a categorical forecast.

Here are the concepts: above the norm, below the norm, the norm.

Everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere it is painted over in red, which corresponds to the probability of more than 70% that the class will be above the norm, ”he said.

Vilfand also added that in the European part of Russia and in the Urals, the probability that the air temperature will exceed the norm is about 50%, and in the Asian part - more than 60%.

Earlier, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center said that in a number of Russian regions the level of fire hazard will increase in the near future.
