“2010 is not a threat to us.
Because then the duration of this dry period reached almost forty days.
It started at the end of June and ended in the second half of August.
The weather then was very hot with high temperatures.
Yes, we are hot right now.
And another week of hot weather.
Next week - + 30 ... + 32 ° С without any precipitation.
And the same weather is in the anticyclone area, which occupies virtually the entire European territory of Russia, ”the forecaster explained.
He noted that the situation with fires remains difficult and added that the most important task is to prevent the emergence of new fires.
“The situation is, of course, difficult.
And it will be difficult until the end of August.
It is necessary to prevent people from entering the forests as much as possible, to impose a ban on visiting forests.
Because 90% of forest fires, from which cinders go to Moscow, appear because someone did not put out the fire, someone fried barbecue, someone threw a bottle, which then focused the sunlight, etc. .. The most important thing now is to prevent the emergence of new outbreaks, and this to a very large extent depends on the behavior of people in the forests, ”Shuvalov concluded.
Earlier, the director of the Krasnoyarsk Center for Forest Pyrology, Roman Kotelnikov, named the causes of forest fires in Russia.
