“Until the end of the week, temperatures throughout the country are above normal. No negative anomalies are predicted anywhere. This is due to the fact that in the European territory of the country, in the Urals and in western Siberia, the temperature regime is influenced by the Atlantic air. But on the Asian part, the cyclone controls the weather and on the eastern periphery the temperature is near normal. In the west of the Krasnoyarsk Territory it is significantly higher,” he said.
According to Vilfand, the cyclones that are currently passing through the Arctic Ocean “determine the air speed regime in the north of the European part of Russia.”
“In particular, in the Murmansk region, in the Kaliningrad region, in Yamal. This means that the wind speed in these regions is 23-25 meters per second. The entire European territory of Russia has the same temperature,” the forecaster explained.
He also noted that a dangerous situation is expected in Primorye, where snow is expected tomorrow and icy conditions are predicted.
“But the most dangerous thing is on the Kuril ridge, in the south there the wind will reach hurricane levels of up to 38 meters per second. In Kamchatka, this is due to a cyclone moving from the Sea of Japan,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
Earlier, the head of the Meteo forecasting center, Alexander Shuvalov, said that on January 31 in Murmansk it will be warmer than in Krasnodar.
