Last weekend, June 19 and 20, the heat hit central Russia and Moscow. Thermometer columns rose above + 30 ° during the day. Meteorologists predict a series of temperature and abnormal heat records in the week of June 21-27. The weather in Moscow will match Cairo's climate standard in June, according to the Phobos Weather Center website.
Which records are we talking about?
“African heat” is expected in European Russia in the coming week and drought: the temperature will rise to abnormal values, and there will be no rain, warns Phobos. The background temperature will exceed the June norm (in Moscow – + 17 °) by 13-15 degrees. In this regard, the region will have an orange level of meteorological hazard.
Heat records will be set in central Russia almost every day. These are air temperatures that have never been recorded before on similar days & nbsp; overall more than a century of weather observations. In Moscow, the number of such recordings can reach five or six. In addition, the capital may set an absolute maximum average temperature throughout the month of June. The previous & nbsp; record, & nbsp; + 34.7 °, had been established in 1901.
Two & nbsp; records & nbsp; maximum temperature have already been established this weekend in St. Petersburg, said the head of the forecasting center & laquo; Weather & raquo; Alexander Shuvalov in an interview with RT. During the week, summits are expected in central Russia from Veliky Novgorod to Nizhny Novgorod. More than 100 temperature records are forecast for the Vologda Territory in the north in Orel, Kursk, Shuvalov said.
What caused abnormal heat in central Russia?
The cause of the drought and heat in European Russia was a blocking high pressure system, which established itself over the Russian Plain (stretching from the Urals to the banks of the Black River, Caspian, Azov , White and Baltic Seas, & ndash; approx.AiF.ru), & ndash; the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center Roman Vilfand told RIA Novosti.
“ A stationary high is establishing itself and moisture-saturated air masses roam its periphery, but they do not reach the center. .. This is why it is called the & # 39; blocking high & # 39 ;, & ndash; explained the meteorologist.
When will the heat subside?
The air will continue to warm up until Thursday, June 24, and will reach + 34 ° + 36 °, Wilfand said. Then the high pressure will shift and the Central Federal District will be in its hot end. Clouds will appear in the sky on Friday June 25. But all the same, until Saturday June 26 inclusive of the week, it will be quite hot: + 29 & hellip; + 34 °.
In Phobos It is also reported that clouds will form over central Russia only on weekends and slightly cool the air during the day up to + 29 … + 34 °. At the same time, at night, the columns of the thermometer will display typical values of the daytime climate: & nbsp; + 20 ° or slightly higher. & nbsp;
The heatwave will finally subside only in the last week of June (June 28-30). Daytime temperatures will drop to + 24 … + 29 ° and breathing will become much easier.
According to Shuvalov's forecast, intermittent rains can occur by weekends. Suddenly, the capital will get rid of the heat of 35 degrees.
