[Regnum] Dangerous weather conditions are forecast for several Russian regions in the coming days. Snow, ice, and avalanche danger in the mountains are expected, according to Marina Makarova, a leading specialist at the Hydrometeorological Center.
According to the weather forecaster, heavy snow, sleet, and ice are forecast for most of the Volga Federal District, with icy conditions in Siberia.
"There is an avalanche danger in the south, and it persists in the mountains of the Krasnodar Territory, Adygea, and the republics of the North Caucasus," TASS quotes Makarova as saying.
According to the expert, the Arkhangelsk region and Karelia will be located in the warm sector of the cyclone, which will also bring heavy snowfall, blizzards, icy conditions, and wet snow accumulation.
Earlier, Andrei Kiselev, a PhD candidate in physics and mathematics at the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory, made a preliminary forecast and stated that the abnormally cold and snowy winter could well be offset by an abnormally hot season, and it's not a given that it will be summer.
Forecasters previously predicted that temperatures in Moscow and the Moscow region would warm up to 4 degrees Celsius on the first day of spring. Starting on March 1, amid cloudy skies and light precipitation, temperatures in the capital could range from -1 to 4 degrees Celsius. Experts also warned of icy conditions, which will be a concern in early March due to subzero nighttime
