According to him, in the next few days the capital will have a fairly comfortable air temperature of -2 … -6. However, on January 6 there will be “a very strong cooling, a collapse of the cold,” the TASS meteorologist quotes.
At night, the thermometers will drop to -20… -22 degrees, during the day it is expected to reach -18… -20. “On Christmas night, the frosts will be even stronger, up to 27 degrees, and on January 8, even down to -29,” Vilfand said. During the day, the bottom temperature, including January 9, will be about -20.
This will be the coldest five-day period in the last 23 years, since the beginning of the 21st century, the scientist emphasized. He added that a prolonged period of abnormally cold weather is a dangerous weather phenomenon, the background temperature will immediately be 15 degrees or more below normal, “severe and severe frosts are expected,” Vilfand added.
According to preliminary calculations, the air temperature in Moscow will begin to rise after January 10.
