The Hydrometeorological Center has released its forecast for August, predicting temperature and precipitation anomalies across various regions of Russia. Scientific Director Roman Vilfand shared the details, indicating a mixed bag of conditions for the final month of summer.

Above-normal temperatures are expected in the northwest of Russia, the Chernozem region, the Kuban, the Caucasus republics, Kamchatka, Primorsky Territory, and Sakhalin. The rest of Russia is forecast to experience average temperatures for August.

Western and Central Siberia will see a cold start to the month, with temperatures dropping 6 degrees Celsius below normal.

Rainfall will be less than usual in the Chernozem region, the Southern Federal District, and the North Caucasus. Conversely, the Kaliningrad and Leningrad regions are predicted to receive excess precipitation.

A precipitation deficit is expected in the southern half of European Russia, encompassing areas south of the Moscow region, including Tula, Ryazan, Kursk, Voronezh regions, the entire Southern Federal District, the entire North Caucasus, and the southern Volga region. This deficit also extends to Chukotka and the northeast of European Russia, specifically the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the north of the Arkhangelsk region, and Komi.

Excess precipitation is forecast for the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the northwest of European Russia, particularly the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions. The remaining territories are expected to have precipitation levels close to the norm.
