Winter will be the worst in 200 years. Forecasters said what to prepare for
Meteorologists are frightened not by abnormal frosts, but by sharp temperature changes, icy rain and chaotic snowfalls.
Climate scientists are sounding the alarm: the coming winter will be a serious test of strength. The main threat lies not in the crackling cold, but in unprecedented temperature instability. Sustainable frosts will have to wait a long time, and each new atmospheric front will bring more tangible and sharp surprises.
Peak weather chaos is expected in January. Meteorologists compare the situation with a “roller coaster”: during the day the thermometer can show a small plus and wet snow, and after a couple of hours the mercury column will collapse 20-25 degrees down. Such extreme contrast is guaranteed to create a solid ice crust, turning streets, especially in the western regions of the country, into a real skating rink.
With precipitation, a sharp geographical imbalance is also predicted. Some areas are at risk of meeting the spring with almost no snow cover, while others will cover the most powerful cyclones that can roll out the monthly rainfall in just a couple of days. This will put a huge burden on utilities and rescue services.
How to minimize the risks this winter?
Motorists: you need to change tires for winter now. The roadway will turn from wet asphalt into an ice trap at lightning speed.
Meteodependent: Cardiologists strongly recommend keeping blood pressure under strict control. Sharp jumps in the background temperature is a direct and dangerous blow to the vessels.
• All the rest: get shoes with an anti-slip sole, be extremely careful on the street and treat with understanding the possible temporary interruptions in the housing and communal services.
