According to the expert, temperatures throughout almost the entire country will be significantly higher than normal.
“Especially in the north of European Russia and the Asian part of the country. Temperatures will be 8-10 degrees above normal. At the end of January and beginning of February, the norms are very low, so instead of forty-degree frosts there will be thirty-degree frosts... This is due to the fact that a cyclone is moving across the Arctic Ocean, which carries a huge amount of heat from the Atlantic. Therefore, as weather forecasters say, “The North is blocked” - the cold air masses of the north will not enter the temperate latitudes and there will be very warm weather,” Vilfand said.
He noted that in the capital throughout the week the temperature will be 5-6 degrees above normal, which is more consistent with the fourth five-day period in March.
But in the south of European Russia, RT’s interlocutor added, the temperature background is around normal.
“In the Krasnodar Territory the temperature will be the same as in Moscow. At night there are slight negative temperatures, and during the day there are slight positive temperatures,” the forecaster said.
Very strong winds are also predicted on the coast of the European part of Russia.
“In the Murmansk region, the wind will reach 35 m/s. In the Nenets Autonomous Okrug up to 30 m/s. This is a truly dangerous event,” Vilfand concluded.
Earlier, the head of the situation center of Roshydromet, Yuri Varakin, spoke about the weather in Moscow in the coming work week.
