When will the warming come to the capital and the region
In the coming days, the weather in Moscow will change dramatically, and the air temperature will warm up to plus temperatures, Tatyana Pozdnyakova, a leading specialist at the Meteonosti agency, told Izvestia.
— Severe frosts are not expected this week, nevertheless, on the night of Wednesday, February 11, the temperature in the Moscow region may drop to -20 degrees, in Moscow the minimum temperature will be -16 ...-18, and in the daytime it will rise to -7 ...-9 degrees, — she specified.
According to the expert, if at the beginning of the week the average daily air temperature is 5-6 degrees below the climatic norm, then by the end of the week it will be five degrees higher. So, on Friday, February 13, and Saturday, February 14, the air will warm up to +3 degrees.
— The weather will be cloudy, snowfall is expected on Friday night, but on February 13 and 14 it will rain mixed with sleet, — the meteorologist added. — The negative temperature will remain at night to -6, and during the day the air will warm up to +2 ... +3 degrees.
However, the thaw will not last long. According to Tatiana Pozdnyakova, on Sunday, February 15, the air temperature will begin to decrease again.
— Severe frosts are not expected yet, but winter may last until the first half of March. The negative temperature will remain for most of this period," the expert noted.
What to expect for the regions
But in some eastern regions, for example in Omsk, the thaw has already set in. In the next day or two, warm weather will come to Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Abakan, Alexander Shuvalov, head of the Meteo forecasting center, told Izvestia. But even there, this period will be short-lived, as frosts are moving there from the central part of Russia.
— The warm weather will last in these regions for two to three days, and then the south of Siberia will fall into the cold sector of the cyclone and the temperature will drop sharply to –20-23 degrees. The cold snap has already affected the Southern Urals, and by the end of the week the cyclone will be near the Krasnoyarsk Territory," Shuvalov explained.
In the south of Russia, the cold weather will continue until Wednesday inclusive, and on Thursday it will warm up sharply, Alexander Shuvalov added.
"The air will warm up from +13 to +18 degrees in Krasnodar, Sevastopol, Simferopol, and the good weather will continue over the weekend," he said.
A hurricane is expected in Kamchatka, with snow cover reaching two meters in some places, the forecaster explained.
— Starting on Wednesday, Kamchatka will be overtaken by an explosive cyclone. Gale force winds and heavy snowfall are expected on the islands and the southern tip of the peninsula. On the east coast, wind gusts can reach almost hurricane force — 30-33 m/s," added Alexander Shuvalov.
How will the weather affect your health
Sudden temperature changes have a negative effect on well-being, so it's better to save your strength these days, therapist and Candidate of medical Sciences Andrey Kondrakhin told Izvestia.
— Drowsiness, apathy, lethargy, decreased performance may appear, — the doctor clarified. — This is due to the fact that the body has already adjusted to the cold weather, and then it will have to rebuild again — it takes strength.
Andrey Kondrakhin added that excessive worries about the weather can also increase the stress on the body.
— We regularly find ourselves in situations where the temperature around us changes dramatically. For example, entering a warm room from the cold. However, when we worry, our brain reduces activity. We begin to expect trouble and often provoke unpleasant symptoms in ourselves," the doctor noted.
He also stressed that children are sensitive to changes in the weather, so they can be moody on days of temperature fluctuations.
— Children's nervous system is unstable, they are very sensitive to the slightest changes and react to them. There's nothing you can do here, parents will have to be patient," the expert explained.
The doctor recommended following the forecast and dressing according to the weather, as well as reducing physical activity. In addition, he advised not to lean on caffeine, but to give preference to cocoa, as this drink has a better effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
