Winter this year in Russia will be frosty. This was announced during a conversation with journalists by the head of the Department of Meteorology and Climate of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Central UGMS” Nikolay Tereshonok, RIA Novosti reports.
The climatologist noted that this year anticyclones were delayed on the territory of the country. According to him, the current cooling is due to the influence of the Arctic anticyclone.
In winter, as Tereshonok notes, anticyclonic weather and, possibly, severe frosts may also prevail.
In his opinion, the appropriate weather will be established in the territory from the English Channel to the Urals. At the same time, Siberia will be under the influence of the Mongolian and Siberian anticyclones, and Yakutia will have the usual weather for this region.
The director of the climate program of the World Wildlife Fund, Alexey Kokorin, in turn, predicted the warming of winters due to global climate change, and also urged to prepare for changeable weather.
Earlier, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of the Russian Federation, Roman Vilfand, also said that by the end of the next working week, cold and rainy weather will be established in the central part of European Russia.
