Meteorologist: For two nights in a row, Moscow has the lowest temperature in seven years

The specialist noted that severe frost continues in Moscow.

"For two nights in a row, the temperature is the lowest in seven years. Early in the morning of January 4, the minimum thermometer showed -27 ° C, this happened at the VDNKh meteorological station. The last time such a low value on this date was observed almost half a century ago, in 1982," Starkov said.

However, according to him, severe frosts have reached their climax.

"The Arctic anticyclone has begun to collapse, and the frost will now subside. However, the warming process will be very slow. The night temperature will gradually go from -25 ° C, and the daytime warming will also gradually begin to exceed the 20 ° mark. Despite the gradual increase, the temperature background in the coming days will remain 12-15 degrees below the climatic norm," the meteorologist added.

He also drew special attention to the fact that simultaneously with the weakening of frosts, the nature of the weather will change.

"In particular, on Saturday there will be the first snow of the season. Well, the return of temperature to the climate norm will occur only in the first working days of the coming year," the RT interlocutor concluded.

Earlier, the head of the Meteo forecasting center, Alexander Shuvalov, said that the first five-day week in Moscow and the Moscow region will be extremely cold.
