People tend to want to know in advance what awaits them. This applies to many factors in life. But weather can be predicted as close as possible to the truth. Weather forecasters are pretty rough reports. Nevertheless, they allow you to plan work and leisure, organize trips and form schedules of agricultural processes.
This article will discuss the weather that awaits the residents of Russia in the winter of 2018-2019. Weather forecasters promise a rather mild winter, which is good news. Extremely low temperatures are not expected. There will be few truly frosty days, just a few weeks over the whole winter. Of course, we are not talking about regions where hard frosts in winter are common. Here, too, winter will be ordinary, without extreme temperature changes.
According to meteorologists, the coming winter will differ little from the past, which, first of all, means the absence of unpleasant surprises. The most severe frosts, as usual, will come to the northern and eastern regions of the country. But residents of these regions are accustomed to such conditions and are ready for them in advance.It is, for example, the Perm region, Siberia, the Komi Republic. Here you can safely count on frosts around - 30 degrees already in the first days of December.
The first snow in winter 2018-2019
In the central regions of Russia, the first heavy snow will pass in the first decade of December. Moscow and St. Petersburg will be noticed at the end of November, which also does not surprise anyone. December this year will be very snowy, which will bring a lot of concern to public services and the joy of winter entertainment. At this time, the air temperature will stay at -10 ... -12 degrees Celsius.
The first deep snow will not lie long. Within a week, he will start beating. Soon this will be followed by a new lingering snowfall. Some regions of the day will be covered with a fifty centimeter layer of snow. Temperature at - 10 will provide the climate with softness, which will make it easy to endure the winter period.
Severe frosts are not expected. The circulation of cold masses over Antarctica can give residents of the central regions a few very frosty days up to - 20 degrees, but this does not persist for long.
In general, the winter of 2018-2019 will be early, mild and moderately cold. On New Year's holidays, the weather will give the Russians a gift from themselves and fill them with fresh, clean snow combined with a comfortable temperature. This will help create a truly festive mood and entourage corresponding to the period. This is followed by a warm, but windy January. Already in the third decade of February days with spring weather will increasingly happen, which will help to easily wait for the sun and heat.
Detailed forecast for the winter 2018-2019 by month
A more detailed forecast for each month will allow more efficient use of information and more intelligently manage their time.
December 2018
The first month of the coldest season in 2018 will be moderately frosty. The average monthly temperature will not fall below -18 degrees. This figure depends on the few frosty days that fall around mid-December. No more precipitation is foreseen, but several waves of snowfall will be quite abundant. Closer to January most of the precipitation will fall in the form of sleet.
January 2019
January, according to averaged temperature indicators, will be the coldest month of the coming winter. The first days of the month will remain moderately cold and mild, but by the middle there will be abundant precipitation and a decrease in temperature. Most of the time, thermometer readings will begin to fluctuate around the -18 degrees mark.
The second half of January 2019 will be frosty, with precipitation significantly reduced. The last few days of the month will be relatively warm, but snowfall will resume.
February 2019
The beginning of February 2019 is also marked by incessant snowfall. The advantage of this period will be a relatively warm air, if we estimate this figure by winter standards. After mid-February, the temperature will begin to fall and will be kept at the mark of - 15 degrees Celsius.
