Scientists have named the southern regions of Russia as a region with an increased risk to human health and agriculture from global warming. This was stated by climate expert at the Nature and People Foundation Alexey Kokorin in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The specialist emphasized that dust storms covered a number of regions of the Southern Federal District at the beginning of the week. Natural phenomena were noticed in the Volgograd, Rostov, Astrakhan regions, as well as Kalmykia. Kokorin assured that this phenomenon is natural.
Kokorin noted that in the south of European Russia there are risks in terms of human life and agriculture, since droughts due to waves of hot weather are expected there two to three times more often.
Previously, a weather forecaster predicted when the first snow would fall in Central Russia. At the moment the exact date is unknown. If a cold front moves into the region, the first snowflakes will appear in early October.
