Forecaster predicted snow cover in Tatarstan by December

Sustainable snow cover in Tatarstan will be formed no earlier than the end of November - early December. This forecast was voiced by the head of the forecasting center “Meteo” Alexander Shuvalov.

According to him, the first snowfalls, which are expected next week, will not lead to a stable snow cover: on the weekend they can wash off heavy rain at temperatures up to +7 degrees. Therefore, residents of the republic should not expect that the snow that fell will “remain” for a long time.

Forecaster believes that stable cover will not appear before the last five-day November, but rather in early December. For the republic, this is a normal picture: the transition to winter often stretches for several weeks and is accompanied by alternating snowfalls and thaws. While the weather remains changeable, each new cyclone can change the scenario.

Shuvalov noted the low accuracy of long-term forecasts. The validity of forecasts for the whole winter is only 60-65%, so household ideas that after a warm autumn will surely come a harsh winter or an abnormal amount of snow, have no scientific basis.
