| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Against the backdrop of general climate change, tornadoes and strong winds will occur more often in Moscow in the summer. This was reported by climatologist Alexey Kokorin. "Tornadoes have been recorded in the Moscow region before, because heat waves can penetrate quite far. Most likely, this will not be a typical phenomenon for Moscow and the region, but we will definitely have more strong winds, gusts of about 30 meters per second, and we need to adapt to this," he noted in a conversation with the Moscow agency. Kokorin also added that such unusual weather phenomena as tornadoes and whirlwinds, against the backdrop of global warming, will be encountered more often not only in the capital, but also in other regions of Russia. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the leading specialist of the Phobos weather center, Yevgeny Tishkovets, noted earlier that on May 2, in Moscow and the Moscow region, covered in snow, a 116-year-old record for the volume of precipitation was broken. As a result of the snowfall, about 26 thousand people in more than 90 settlements in the Moscow region were left without electricity. |
