The weather in Moscow for the New Year will be snowy and not too frosty. About this in a conversation with RT told the leading specialist weather center "Phobos" Evgeny Tishkovets. He specified that it would snow every day until January 4, and the temperature would not be below -8 ° C. However, closer to Christmas frosts will increase.

“After January 5 we will be in the rear of the cyclone, there will be a cold snap. At night -9 ...- 14 ° С, in the afternoon -4 ...- 9 ° С. Closer to Christmas frosts will grow stronger, but not much. No extreme weather conditions, no cataclysms are foreseen. Very good weather with a snowball, ”he explained.

At the same time, due to the large snow cover from 26 to 34 cm, the weather on December 31 will be better than last year, noted Roman Vilfand, scientific director of Roshydromet.

“The weather on New Year's Eve will be better than last year, thanks to the snow cover. Already now its height in Moscow ranges from 26 to 31 cm, in the region - to 34 cm. The temperature is expected to rise from -10 ° C at the beginning of the night to -5 ° C by the morning, ”the Roshydromet website quotes Vilfanda.

Weather forecasters of the Gismeteo portal note that the residents of the capital were lucky with the weather.

“Muscovites are lucky this season. On New Year's Day there is a wonderful winter weather - mild and snowy. It is expected a little snow and a temperature background of 2-3 ° C above the climatic norm. Such conditions can be called classics of the genre, “- said in a statement on the site.

According to weather forecasters, the temperature will allow Muscovites “to spend time comfortably outdoors, a powerful snow cover will provide all types of winter activity, and daily snow will add a New Year's mood.”

The weather center “Phobos” informs that the weather in Central Russia will be comfortable for the New Year.

“In the last days of the outgoing year and on New Year's Eve, the weather in the center of the Russian Plain will be comfortable in winter, with slight snowfalls, light to moderate winds, with temperatures slightly above the average multi-year values. In a word, as in a winter snow fairy tale, ”the site says.

"Where it is coldest there is no rain"

Similar weather will be established in other regions of the European part of Russia, including Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and the Leningrad Region, Anatoly Tsygankov, deputy chief of the Roshydromet Situational Center, told RT. At the same time, severe frosts will be established in the east of the country - in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Irkutsk Region, Chita and Yakutia.

“Starting from the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, further in the middle part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Irkutsk Region, Chita, Yakutia, Tiksi is a large cold zone, with nighttime temperatures down to -42 ° C. In the area of ​​Irkutsk - to -35 ° C, Anadyr - to -37 ° C. At the same time, from the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Norilsk, Khatanga, across the west of Siberia, Khanty-Mansiysk, Tomsk - there is a flow of heat. Night temperatures are softer than -12 ... -17 ° С. In Primorye, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk Territory, temperatures are also softer - up to -15 ° C, closer to Yakutia up to -20 ° C, ”he said.

Severe frosts will be in the Urals: Roshydromet predicts up to -27 ... -29 ° С in Perm and up to -34 ° С in Salekhard. Precisely in those regions where frosts are expected, precipitation will be low, Tsygankov noted.

“Where it is the coldest of all, there is no rain, cloudy, where, respectively, warmer, there is snow. Khabarovsk Territory, Sakhalin, the Kuriles, the southern part of Kamchatka - there is precipitation, light snow. In Omsk, Khanty-Mansiysk, Norilsk and Taimyr there will also be snow, blizzards are possible. Krasnodar Territory, the Caucasus — there is also precipitation there, but there is a different temperature background, ”the forecaster said.

So, in the Krasnodar Territory in the afternoon will be + 2 ... + 5 ° С, and in the Crimea + 6 ° С, said Tsygankov. The positive temperature, according to Rosgidromet, will be characteristic of almost the entire south of Russia, with the exception of Sochi and Krasnodar itself - up to -1 ° C, and up to -5 ° C in mountainous areas.

Temperature anomalies

At the same time in most parts of the country the temperature on January 1 will be higher than usual at this time of the year, especially in Norilsk, Taimyr and Salekhard.

“As for deviations from the temperature norm, in Norilsk, on Taimyr, in Salekhard, it is 12 ° C higher than the norm. In St. Petersburg and Murmansk, the temperature is 4 ° C above normal. In Moscow, 1 ° C above normal. In Kazan, Perm, Novosibirsk and Chita, the temperature is also above normal. Tomsk oblast, Chelyabinsk, the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk are below the norm by 2-4 ° С. Well, Anadyr, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - there, too, is 8 ° C below the norm, ”concluded Tsygankov.

In the Khabarovsk Territory, where on the night of December 29, an avalanche covered 11 people, as a result of which two died, rainfall will decrease, the forecaster of Roshydromet Natalia Ananyeva told the First Channel.

“In the Khabarovsk Territory, more than the monthly norm of precipitation fell within a day, which was the cause of avalanches. But in the near future, in the north of the region and in the Nikolaevsky district the snowfalls will not be so strong. In the south in the remaining days of the year and without any precipitation, ”she said.
