After the abnormally warm winter, temperature peaks are not expected this summer in Russia. According to Andrey Kiselev, an employee of the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory, this trend is supported with the data collected for over many years.
The climatologists notes that the 2020 summer temperatures will be average or slightly below the average. The upcoming summer will not be hot, as the nature "will try to level the situation, so that there will be no considerable jumps in average temperatures." "If winter temperatures are too high, in summer they will be either average or lower than the average. In any case, they will not rise significantly," — Kiselev added.
The publishing house reminds that such temperature deviations from the norm (around 25–28°C) across Russia may lead to a reduction in the population of mosquitoes, birds and river fish. Moreover, due to the absence of snow, the soil will not be sufficiently moistened in this spring, and plants may die in the event of severe frosts.
Just as a reminder, January of 2020 became the warmest month in the history of meteorological observations in St. Petersburg. The average monthly temperature in January was positive for the first time here: +1.5 degrees, which is 9.4 degrees higher than normal.
