The Russians were promised weather anomalies in winter: Society: Russia: Lenta.ru
The Russians were promised weather anomalies this winter. This was reported by RIA News specialists of the “Phobos” center.
The most unusual anomalies will be observed in southern Russia, in the upper reaches of the Ob, Yenisei, the Baikal region, as well as in the north of the Far East.
Forecasters noted that despite global warming, the process of ice melting has stopped in the Arctic this year, which will affect the weather in the Northern Hemisphere.
This season, snowfalls and storms have already begun in some regions, experts recalled. We are talking about Chukotka, Yamal, Taimyr, South Urals and Siberia. “In such a situation, the circumpolar vortex, which forms in the free atmosphere above the pole, is more powerful. As a result, the Arctic jet stream will be pushed further to the southern latitudes, ”the forecasters assured.
Increases the volume of the west-east transport of air masses. At the same time, in the capital, the height of snowdrifts will be a quarter higher than the norm, and in the lower reaches of the Volga, in the Kolyma and southern Siberia – by one and a half to two times, they concluded in Phobos.
Earlier, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, spoke about the weather anomalies that are expected in the European parts of Russia in the coming days. So, in the north of European Russia, the weather is very warm and the temperature is 4 degrees above normal. The reason for this will be an anticyclone, from the western periphery of which warm air masses move.
