He noted that this year the fall equinox fell on September 23. “Three days after the autumn equinox, the length of day and night will be equal. And then the hours of daylight will begin to decrease,” explained the meteorologist.
According to him, in September and early October the cyclonic activity is not yet very developed. In the third decade of October and November, the so-called pressure depressions will begin to appear more frequently. Periods of inclement weather will begin.
This will also affect people’s emotional state. “Doctors have shown that a lack of sunlight does not contribute to a good mood, but it is very depressive,” said Vilfand. She clarified that the most “depressing” month is November. At the end of December, the days will increase again and therefore the mood will improve.
However, according to some preliminary forecasts, the winter of 2023-2024 is expected to be warm. According to the main specialist of the Phobos meteorological center, Evgeniy Tishkovets, the autumn-winter season will be determined by El Niño, a warm ocean current. Therefore, winter will be abnormally warm in Central Russia, the Russian Plain and the Urals. February will be especially nice. The thermometer may exceed the reading by 5 degrees.
