It is noted that this is due to the arrival of subtropical air masses, which will reach Central Russia from the waters of the western Mediterranean, bypassing the entire Old World.
The abnormal heat will continue throughout the next month. In April, the air temperature will be 2 to 3 degrees above the long-term norm and a precipitation deficit that may reach 20-40% is expected.
By the end of the week it will also be much warmer in the Chernozem region, in the Donbass and in the area between the Volga and Don rivers.
