Evgeny Tishkovets, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, said on March 2 that a thaw in Moscow is expected in the near future, although the meteorological spring in the capital will not come until April.
“Plus temperatures are expected, tomorrow it’s quite possible, but you don’t need to count on the arrival of spring, we will have a cold March, and there will be returns of the Arctic cold,” he said.
According to him, the meteorological spring is still far away, since it usually occurs in the last ten days of March, but in fact this will happen only in April.
Tishkovets also added that on Thursday, March 2, cloudy weather with clearings is expected in the capital, and heavy snowfall from six o’clock in the evening.
Forecasters said that the air temperature in the capital on Thursday will vary from -3 to -1 degrees. In the Moscow region is expected from -5 to 0 degrees. Atmospheric pressure will be 739-744 mmHg.
On the eve of March 1, it was reported that in Moscow and the Moscow region the “yellow” level of weather danger due to black ice was extended until the morning of March 3.
On the same day, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, Roman Vilfand, advised the residents of Moscow not to count on early spring, since the snow in the capital region will completely melt only in early April. He stressed that in March there will be a tendency to increase the length of daylight hours. On the 20th of March, its length will reach 12 hours.
