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

The end of 2026 promises to be one of the most meteorologically unstable periods in Russia’s recent history. The usual smooth change of seasons is a thing of the past: it is replaced by a chaotic struggle of warm southern cyclones and icy Arctic invasions, which gives rise to unprecedented unpredictability.

What awaits the regions?

• Central Russia and North-West: November will begin with prolonged rains (+3 ... +7 ° C), but by the middle of the month will hit night frosts to -5 ° C and wet snow. St. Petersburg and the region are waiting for squally winds of up to 20 m / s, and in Karelia and Murmansk snow cover will lie ahead of normal times.

Siberia and the Urals: In December, real winter frosts to -30 ° C will be established here, while the European part of the country can abnormally warm up to +2 ... +5 ° C, which is completely uncharacteristic for the height of winter.

• Far East: Primorye and Khabarovsk Territory will meet in December according to the autumn scenario. Vladivostok is threatened by dangerous drops from +3 ° C to -10 ° C, which is fraught with large-scale icing of roads and utility networks.

• South and Caucasus: Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Region will bathe in deceptive warmth (+10...+15°C) and thick fogs. But in the mountains of the Caucasus, heavy snowfalls will fall, repeatedly increasing the avalanche danger and the risk of blocking routes.

Strike on infrastructure and health

Such temperature "swings" - a serious test not only for utilities, forced around the clock to deal with the ice, but also for health. People with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are advised to be extremely careful.

The main conclusion of meteorologists is unequivocal: residents of all federal districts should prepare in advance for any, even the most extreme scenario. Check winter tires, insulate at home and keep your finger on the pulse of storm warnings.
