Abnormally bad weather in February: weather addicts and people with poor health are at risk
The end of winter in Russia in 2025 will be very different depending on the region. If in Yakutia in January there were 30-degree frosts, and Sakhalin was covered with a blizzard, in Moscow and the Moscow region was observed almost April temperature. On what weather awaits the inhabitants of the country in the last winter month and whether we should wait for spring in February - in the material "Izvestia".
Weather forecast for the month in Moscow and the Moscow region
At the end of January in Moscow, the temperature was plus. In the last week, the thermometer columns rose above 5 degrees, which is 10 degrees above normal. As noted in his Telegram-channel leading expert of the weather center "Phobos" Evgeny Tishkovets, the weather these days corresponds to April 4. Against the background of a warm winter in Moscow, there are many reports that spring will come to the capital earlier than expected.
According to preliminary data, in the last month of winter the actual temperature values will be 4-7 degrees above the norm. However, the forecast may change, forecasters emphasize.
Earlier meteorologists told "Izvestia" that winter weather will return to the capital region in early February. Alexander Shuvalov, head of the Meteo forecasting center , told RT that winter will not only come to Moscow, but will also bring baptismal frosts: "One of the models in early February gave a temperature drop in Moscow and the region to -20...-25 °С. So I will answer positively to the question whether there will be winter. But confidently about the extent of cooling and snow will be judged in a few days."
However, according to the updated data of "Yandex.Pogoda", the days of February in Moscow will remain warm. On the weekend of the 1st and 2nd will be above zero, and from February 3 to 9 will be a slight minus. After that, until the end of the month thermometer columns will show about 0 degrees, which is typical for March. Large snowdrifts in the capital will not appear, but there will still be a lot of precipitation. Thus, February 1-8 is expected a little snow, and 10-13th, 16-19th, 22-23rd and 25-26th will be snow with rain.
Weather in February 2025 in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region
In St. Petersburg, air temperatures will be similar to those in the capital, and February 3-5 in the Northern Capital will be the coldest days of the month. The air temperature will drop to -3...-5 degrees during the daytime there. After that, the thermometer columns in the city will show about 0 degrees, sometimes up to +2.
The amount of snow in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region all winter was also not typical. Heavy snowfalls came only in early January, but because of warming everything quickly melted. According to preliminary data of "Yandex. Weather", there will still be precipitation in February, but because of the plus temperature, the snow will melt. The forecast for February 1-8 promises snow, and for February 9-12, 15, 18-24 and 26 - snow with rain.
What will be the weather in the regions of Russia in February
Siberia
The weather portal Accuweather.com predicts the residents of Novosibirsk that the last winter month will start with 30-degree frosts. Such weather should be expected in the night hours of the first decade of February. In the second decade of February promise -28 degrees at night.
However, it should be noted that the service "Yandex.Weather" gives a different forecast. According to their data, the air temperature in February will change dramatically. On average it will be about -6...-13 degrees during the day. However, there will be cold days: February 1 will start with a 19-degree frost, and the residents of the Siberian capital frost awaits the 15th-20th day, when the air temperature will fall to -27 degrees.
Snow is promised on February 1-12, and the rest of the days there will be no precipitation.
Since temperatures are constantly being adjusted, it is difficult to say what will be the last winter month in Novosibirsk. Natalia Kichanova, head of the forecasting department of the West Siberian UHMS, said earlier that February will be cold there, with temperatures near or below normal.
Tyumen promises different weather conditions. There, tentatively, February will be abnormally warm due to the La Niña phenomenon.
According to "Yandex.Pogoda", February 1-2 will be about 0 degrees in the afternoon, and then the cold will come: -7...-18 degrees.
Urals
In Yekaterinburg, according to preliminary data from "Yandex.Pogoda", the average daytime temperature will be about -10 degrees Celsius. The coldest day will be February 17, when thermometers will show -14 degrees.
At the time of publication of the article, the service promised the Urals capital snowfalls on February 1-9, 15, 20 and 24. And since the 25th, snow with rain is possible. In other cities of the region, similar weather conditions are mostly expected.
Far East
In many regions of Russia, the weather is warmer than usual, but in the Far East, according to experts, a strong cold snap may come. Therefore, residents of the region should prepare warm clothes in advance.
The lowest temperatures there are usually kept in December, but this year February, presumably, will not yield to it. Thus, experts expect that the region can come to the "Chinese frosts", the peculiarity of which is their duration. If this phenomenon does occur, the arrival of spring will be delayed until early March.
The average air temperature in Vladivostok in the last winter month is usually about -7 degrees Celsius. In February 2025 there will be no strong frosts, but we should not expect warmth either. The coldest days will be February 3-6, when the air temperature will vary from -9 to -11, and then the same values are expected from February 19 to the end of the month.
The last winter month will be full of sunny days, and precipitation is currently promised on the 2nd-5th, 7th, 17th-18th and 23rd-24th.
In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky the air temperature in February during the day will be on average at -5 degrees Celsius. The coldest nights, when the thermometer may drop to -15 degrees, are expected only on February 1-3.
Along with this, there will be a lot of precipitation in the city: February 1-9, 17-18, 20-21 and 25-26, snow is expected.
Sochi and Crimea
In the south of Russia in February you will not get warm, but the temperature there will be warm enough. According to "Yandex.Weather", in Sevastopol, the average daytime temperature will be about +10 degrees Celsius. The coldest days there will be the 7th and 8th, when the air temperature will drop to +4 and +2 degrees respectively.
There will be few days with precipitation, but you should not expect clear days either. Thus, rain is expected on February 1-2, 11-12, 14, 19, 23-24, snow with rain is possible on the 3rd, and snow on February 4 and 5. February 10, 13 and 15-17 will be clear days.
Similar temperatures are expected in Sochi in February 2025. February 10, 15-18 and 25 will be clear. Rain is expected on the 2-3rd, 7th, 12th-13th, 19th, 23-24th and 26th.
The ski season also continues. In 2024 at Krasnaya Polyana it was closed on May 6, so those wishing to ski and snowboard in winter and spring can head to the mountains and then enjoy dinner with a sea view in Sochi or Adler.
Will there still be frost and why is this weather abnormal
The fact that winter in many cities and regions of Russia was warmer than usual, many people are happy, but there are also those who love winter and want to know whether it is worth waiting for this year.
According to the forecast offered by "Yandex Weather", it is not worth waiting for frost in most parts of Russia. Lyudmila Parshina, an employee of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, told us why there will be no severe cold weather. In conversation with NEWS.ru she said that the weather forecast in the near future will be determined by the cyclone moving eastward along the Arctic coast and carrying very warm air from Southern Europe and even from North Africa to the middle part of Russia, including Moscow.
Increased blood pressure and health problems in meteorologists, hypertensives and others
Fluctuations in weather and pressure can have a strong impact on some categories of people. Those who are aware of the negative effects of weather on their bodies, it is better to prepare in advance.
People who are sensitive to weather fluctuations may experience joint and muscle pain in addition to headaches, dizziness and nausea. When temperature or pressure changes are expected, they should give up bad habits (smoking, alcohol), not drink coffee or strong tea and eat more vegetables, fruits and greens. It is also worth giving up fatty and spicy foods. Sufficient sleep and gymnastics can be indispensable in such periods.
The main thing to remember is that you can not write off any symptoms to the weather. It is worthwhile to contact a doctor in time, who will prescribe the necessary medication if necessary.
When will spring come in 2025?
When the real spring will come to each region, it is still difficult to say. However, as Evgeny Tishkovets notes, the abnormally warm winter is likely to turn into a warm spring. At the same time, the flood is expected to be not only record early, but also weak. But summer is expected to be moderate, without the strong heat of 2010.
