During the coming winter, according to the calculations of the Hydrometeorological Center, a small but positive anomaly is expected, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center Roman Vilfand told Lente.ru.
According to the forecast of the meteorologist, the Russians will face a heterogeneous winter. “This means that there will often be zonal movements, that is, warm masses from the Atlantic, air processes will be transferred from west to east, but there will also be inflows of cold masses from the north,” he said.
If we talk about the temperature regime, then, according to the meteorologist, in the European territory of Russia, temperatures are predicted around and slightly above normal. “Above the norm, it is warmer. In December, the norm is 6 degrees of cold, in January 9, in February 7, around the norm – this is about these values. This refers to the average monthly temperature, that is, for all days and nights, ”said Vilfand.
The meteorologist also noted that there will be strong drops. “This winter there will be frequent thaws, more often than usual, and at the same time periods with a significant drop in temperature. For Moscow, for example, it is below 20 degrees, ”the specialist noted.
In conclusion, Wilfand stressed that science has not yet learned how to make more detailed predictions for periods of more than two weeks, since there is a lot of chaos and unpredictability in the atmosphere that physicists and meteorologists study.
Previously, the chief specialist of the Phobos center Yevgeny Tishkovets told in an interview with radio Sputnik, that the Russians are expecting “eurozima”, that is, relatively mild weather. However, the head of the forecast center “Meteo” Alexander Shuvalov, in a conversation with “Izvestia” was skeptical about such detailed forecasts, informingthat for more than 10 days, the validity of the forecast does not exceed 60–65 percent.
