The chief specialist of Moscow meteobuuro and Moscow region Tatyana Plynyakova told about the weather in the last week of the calendar winter. According to her, the Russian capital is waiting for snowfalls, to change whom the thaw will come, and behind it frosts again.
According to the Pozdnyakova, this February is unusual in that it is cold, and snow at the same time.
Tatyana Pozdnyakova, Chief Specialist Mete Catering of Moscow and the Moscow Region: "The last week of February will also be anomalous: a day on February 23 will be sunny, but the most cold in the week, the air temperature in the area fell at night to minus 30 degrees. On Wednesday and Thursday, the metropolitan region fell in snow, 5-7 centimeters of precipitation will fall, and then dramatically warps to zero. "
Pozdnyakova reported that after thawed in the capital, frosts will come again, at night it is expected to minus 25 degrees, the day of the thermometers will be shown in the capital, minus 12 will be shown, the average monthly air temperature of February will be 4 degrees below the norm. Such deviations were observed in 2012, but then it cost without powerful snowfalls.
As noted by the Pozdnyakov, frost and precipitation - an unusual combination for winter, which is due to the onset of a new climate era. The meteorologist explained this on the example: if you submit a globe, earlier cyclones walked horizontally, from the west to the east, that is, from the side of the Atlantic, through Europe to Russia, terrible frosts were shoved by the northern territories, the heat remained in the south, the atmospheric fronts of cyclones provided a moderate climate in middle strip. Now the weather is increasingly a vertical model - along the meridians from the north to south or from the south to the north.
Tatyana Pozdnyakova: "The pronounced meridianity of atmospheric circulation can only speak that the climate change, another climatic era has come. It happened not yesterday and no year ago, it is a gradual process, it goes the last 5-7 years. I do not exclude that in the coming years, weather cataclysms can be even more. "

According to the Pozdnyakova, the beginning of March will be very cold, at night the temperature will drop to minus 20-25 degrees, the weather forecasters are not higher than plus 12, but the sun gradually warms the air, by the end of March the long-awaited heat will come.
