Last night in Lipetsk almost broke the temperature record

The night of August 14 in Lipetsk almost became the coldest in 117 years of observations. 0.4 degrees was not enough to repeat the record of 1909.

GOROD48 at the regional Center for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring said that Friday night was recognized as one of the coolest nights of this summer. The thermometer dropped to +7.3 degrees.

In 1909, Lipetsk recorded +6.9 degrees on this day.

The cold snap was the result of cloudy weather and an active influx of cold air masses into the center of the European part of Russia from the Arctic.

The temperature background will start to rise on August 15 due to the anticyclone.

Tatiana Pozdnyakova, a leading specialist at the Meteonosti news agency, reported on August 10 that the cool weather in Moscow would continue almost until the end of the week. At night, it is expected to be mostly +8... +13 degrees, and in the afternoon in the following days the temperature may drop to +15 ... +17 degrees.
