August will start with cool weather, but warming is expected from the 4th, and the thermometer will rise a couple of degrees above the norm. On Thursday, July 30, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia Roman Vilfand told about this to the TV channel “360”.
According to the forecaster, in the European territory of Russia, the temperature background will exceed the norm, and the weather will be heterogeneous. At the same time, despite the coolness in early August, summer weather will continue.
At the beginning of the month, temperatures are expected to be below normal by two to three degrees in the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts. From August 3, the temperature will start to rise, and on the 4th, + 21 … + 26 degrees is expected, which is a couple of degrees above normal, and in the future the temperature will rise until August 7-8. Wilfand noted that in general August will not be cold.
The scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center noted that hot weather will be established in the east of Russia: from the Volga region to Yakutia. In the Far Eastern Federal District, the temperature will be within normal limits with positive deviations. At the same time, in Chukotka and in the Magadan region, the first frosts are predicted down to −1 … −2 degrees. The forecaster added that the excess rainfall will be in the north of the Asian part of the country.
According to Wilfand, the weather in summer 2020 is particularly changeable. He explained that most scientists associate this with the fact that, due to global warming, the nature of atmospheric circulation is changing.
On July 30, it was reported that snow had passed in the metropolitan area of Zyuzino, located in the south-west of the city.
