Snow 'surprises' and a sharp cold snap are expected in Moscow
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] February is preparing a surprise for Muscovites and will “work” with snowfalls and frosts for the entire season. This was reported on February 9 by Evgeny Tishkovets, a specialist at the Phobos weather center.  He noted that in the final ten days of February, Balkan cyclones will become more active in the southwest of Russia, which will also "hook" the Moscow region. Over the last ten days of winter, 100% of the ten-day precipitation norm is expected - about 9-13 mm. "Thus, preliminarily, in the capital of our Motherland by Defender of the Fatherland Day there will be a more or less distinct, although relatively modest for the end of the season, snow cover of up to 5-10 cm. So by the final weekend of the calendar winter there is a chance to resume the ski season," Tishkovets wrote on the Telegram channel. He added that the temperature will drop and return to its normal climatic course, at night it will be -9…-14 °C, in the middle of the day -3…-8 °C. "With such a lead time of the forecast, there is a possibility that the Balkan's route will pass a little further north, that is, closer to the capital, which means that winter will deliver more snowy "surprises" to Muscovites as a farewell. February has not yet said its last word and will "work off" the entire disastrous season with snowfalls and frosts," the forecaster concluded. As reported by Regnum News Agency, on February 3, the scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, stated that 2025 could be among the top three warmest years on the planet. On February 2, he reported that the Earth is experiencing the natural phenomenon of La Niña, which is associated with a decrease in water temperature in the equatorial part of the Pacific Ocean. When it is activated, heat is intensively transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean.

This was reported on February 9 by leading specialist of the Phobos weather center Evgeny Tishkovets. According to weather forecasters, there will be no blizzards or snowdrifts in the Russian capital in the coming days. “The only thing is that on the eve of February 13, a cold front may bring some short-term charges of snow, but it will be one to three centimeters,” RIA Novosti quoted the meteorologist as saying.

In early February, he reported that the Earth is experiencing the natural phenomenon of La Niña, which is associated with a decrease in water temperature in the equatorial part of the Pacific Ocean. When it is activated, heat is intensively transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean. The weather on almost the entire planet is affected by La Niña. Its activity will continue until about March, after which La Niña will begin to move into a neutral phase. Posted by: badanov 2025-02-10 |
