Golden autumn or the first frost? Forecasters differ in forecasts for the suburbs

Residents of the Moscow region expect changeable weather in the first days of October. While some experts promise a “golden autumn” with sun and warmth, others warn of a sharp cold snap and night frosts.

According to forecaster Mikhail Leus from the Phobos center, Moscow and the region will be under the influence of an anticyclone from the east over the weekend. This will bring sunny weather: during the day the air will warm up to + 15 ... + 17 degrees, and in the region - up to + 18. On Sunday evening, a little rain is possible, at night the temperature will drop to +7 ... +9, and in the afternoon it will again rise to +17. +19.

However, on Monday, according to Foreca forecast, the last September rain will come to the capital. In the morning, about 2.6 mm of precipitation is expected, but in the afternoon it will become clearer. Forecaster Evgeny Tishkovets believes that from this moment the real golden autumn will begin: up to 10 days of dry and sunny weather, windlessness and high pressure - 20 units above normal. The air in early October will warm up to +13. +18.

Mikhail Leus calls this scenario “the best gift of October”: according to his forecast, the second month of autumn in European Russia will be 2-3 degrees warmer than the climatic norm, and precipitation will fall by 30-40% less than usual.

However, not all forecasters are so optimistic. Foreca experts warn that from October 1, night temperatures in Moscow will fall to +7, and the day will not be higher than +13 ... +14. Even more severe forecast gives IA "Meteonovsti": warm weather to +18 will be delayed only in the last days of September, after which the temperature will sharply decline. Already on October 3, night frosts are expected, and in the afternoon thermometers will not rise above +6 ... +7. Short warming to +18 will return only by the end of the first week of October.

Such sudden temperature changes can affect the timing of the start of heating. Meanwhile, residents of the suburbs remain to follow the forecasts and prepare for the vagaries of autumn weather.
