According to the forecaster, the coming week will be marked by a strong cooling in central Russia and “this will begin with the development of an anticyclone in the northern regions: Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Cherepovets, Syktyvkar.”
“Here the temperature drops to -18...-23 °C. Then the anticyclone will move east, and on Wednesday the temperature in the central regions will begin to drop - to -12...-17 °C. On Thursday-Friday in the northeast - meaning - Kirov, Ivanovo, Nizhny Novgorod - down to -20...-25 °C. Severe frosts, especially strong and noticeable after a month of thaw,” he noted.
Shuvalov also spoke about the snowfalls that will hit the Volga region on Wednesday.
“From Tuesday to Thursday they will spread to Orenburg, Ufa, Chelyabinsk, Zlatoust, Magnitogorsk. They will all get a fair dose of snow. Up to 10-15 cm of snow will fall within 24 hours. The Sochi-Tuapse region is under the threat of very heavy rains today and tomorrow. The end of these rains and snowfalls in mountainous areas is only on Tuesday. The total amount of precipitation in two days can amount to a month's norm. This can cause mudflows. There is an avalanche danger,” he warned.
