| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] A cold snap will hit Moscow on Friday, March 20, with cloudy weather and precipitation expected. This was reported on March 18 by Yevgeny Tishkovets, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center. "Spring will stumble a bit on Friday. Central Russia will be affected by a high-altitude cyclonic trough, causing the sky to become overcast. Light precipitation in various phases is possible in some areas," Tishkovets told RIA Novosti. According to him, this will limit the influx of solar heat. Overnight temperatures are expected to range from -2 to +1°C, with daytime highs reaching up to +8°C. A weak magnetic storm is possible from 3:00 AM to 6:00 AM Moscow time. On Saturday, March 21, a Scandinavian anticyclone will change the weather. Overnight temperatures will range from -1 to +2°C, with daytime highs reaching +11°C. Magnetic storms are possible. On Sunday, the forecaster predicts sunny and warm weather: overnight lows of -3°C and daytime highs of +12°C. The weather will remain relatively unchanged at the beginning of next week, with the capital experiencing a slight warmer weather. Earlier, weather forecaster Mikhail Leus reported that, despite record-high temperatures, snow cover in Moscow was decreasing only slightly. The Hydrometeorological Center reported that abnormally warm weather is expected in the European part of Russia. Temperatures 6-8 degrees above normal are forecast in the northwestern regions—Leningrad, Moscow, Novgorod, Vologda, and Arkhangelsk Oblasts—as well as in the central regions of the European part of the country and the Volga region. Daytime temperatures will reach 10-15 degrees Celsius, and as high as 17 degrees Celsius in the southern Central Black Earth Region. |
