“November and December will break all twenty-first-century scenarios.” Forecasters said what to prepare for

The usual climate rules no longer work. Meteorologists say that the completion of 2026 will be a real test. Instead of a smooth transition to winter, we are waiting for chaotic “swings” – the result of frequent and aggressive collisions of warm southern and icy Arctic air masses.

November: rains are sharply replaced by frosts

In Central Russia, the month will begin with plus temperatures (+3 ... +7 ° C), but by the middle night frosts up to -5 ° C and wet snow, which will melt quickly, are expected. In the North-West (Petersburg and the region) prepare for squally winds of up to 20 m / s and prolonged precipitation. But in Karelia and Murmansk, stable snow will fall much earlier than usual.

December: The country will split into temperature poles

Siberia and the Urals will plunge into real frosts to -30 ° C. At the same time, the European part of Russia can abnormally warm up to +5 ° C, which is completely atypical for the height of winter. The Far East (especially Vladivostok) is waiting for a dangerous scenario: sharp jumps from +3 to -10 ° C, which guarantees massive ice and accidents on utility networks.

South: Heat, fog and avalanches

The Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region will spend two months in relative warmth (+10...+15 °C), but this idyll will be spoiled by frequent fogs and prolonged rains. The real cold will come to the south only in the last days of December. In the mountains of the Caucasus, on the contrary, heavy snowfall and a high risk of avalanches are expected.

Strike on health and infrastructure

Such temperature surges are a serious stress for people with chronic heart and respiratory diseases. Utilities will have to deal with icing in forced mode. Be prepared for any scenario and do not plan important things that depend on stable weather.
