As the forecaster emphasized, "heat waves will continue in the European territory of the country for quite a long time."
“We have already recorded two records of the maximum temperature in St. Petersburg over the weekend.
Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and, probably, for a couple of days, temperature records will be in central Russia from Veliky Novgorod to Nizhny Novgorod.
Oryol, Kursk - temperature +35 ... + 37 ° С.
In the capital up to + 35 ° С.
That is, this is a whole series of absolutely hot days, which were not in the history of meteorological observations.
I want to say that over the next two or three days, maybe four, more than a hundred records of maximum temperature will be set in the east of the territory.
This means temperatures not only at a single point, but throughout the entire territory: from Vologda in the north to Orel, Kursk in the south - in this zone, a very large number of stations will record new records, ”Shuvalov said.
According to him, the first signs of a weakening of the heat will appear the day after tomorrow.
“In the Kaliningrad region, the temperature will drop from + 32 ° C to the already acceptable + 25 ° C.
On Wednesday and Thursday, thunderstorms are expected in St. Petersburg against the background of a fairly high temperature.
Only on weekends can we expect the approach of this zone with short-term rains ... In any case, we will get rid of this thirty-five-degree heat - this is for the weekend in the capital, ”the expert noted.
Previously, the head of the center.
Gamalei Alexander Gunzburg advised citizens, including those who are vaccinated against the coronavirus, to avoid overheating in hot weather.
