What will be the winter in 2018?

How often our plans, trips and events collapse because of the vagaries of winter weather, which can change in just a couple of hours. What will be the temperature on the street and whether there is a snowstorm, interests both urban residents and rural.

Russians often scold meteorologists who are allegedly unable to predict natural disasters. But it is worth considering the fact that all weather forecasts are based on a single, long-established principle. The main factors underlying the prediction are solar activity and seismic indicators.

If earlier meteorologists could more accurately recognize the approaching storm or blizzard, but lately even the most accurate indicators are not able to identify dangerous situations in advance.

What is the reason? Undoubtedly, great damage to nature is caused by the constant invasion of people into the natural course of the processes occurring in the flora and fauna. What are only the dispersal of clouds or testing of new weapons.

Remember summer hurricanes, which came as a complete surprise to many Russians.Then the seismologists could not identify and notify the residents of dangerous areas in advance of heavy rains and hurricanes, which turned into great destruction.

In general, meteorologists recommend evaluating long-term forecasts and finding out the latest weather reports in advance on TV, the Internet or radio. After all, it is these mass media that first of all inform the population about natural phenomena, especially in winter.

What will be the winter in 2018 in Russia?

In large cities of the region, the temperature is slightly higher than in the region. There may even be thaws, so take care not only about warm outer clothing, but also about suitable shoes.

Frosty february 2018

February is considered the coldest and windiest month. This year will not be an exception. Forecasters predict a decrease in temperature in Central Russia to -25 degrees, which can last up to 2 weeks.
