Unchanging, sunny and frosty weather will be established until the end of the week in the center and in the south of the European part of Russia. Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, told RIA Novosti about this.
According to him, a “super-powerful anticyclone” is located over the territory of European Russia, which will cause monotonous weather throughout the working week, precipitation is not expected.
The air temperature in the center of the European part of Russia will be two degrees below normal, in the south – 5-7 degrees below normal. In the north of European Russia, there will still be positive anomalies, because the anticyclone does not work there, the meteorologist said.
