Meteorologist Alexander Shuvalov and the Hydrometcenter have released their weather forecast for June, detailing expected conditions across various Russian regions. The beginning of summer will bring varied weather patterns, including heat waves, cold snaps, and significant temperature fluctuations.
Central Russia can expect an average monthly air temperature slightly above normal, with noticeable temperature swings. The week of June 9-15 will see temperatures rising to +30…+32 degrees before a sharp drop accompanied by heavy precipitation.
Southern Russia will experience gradually increasing temperatures, with the steppe regions reaching +28…+33 degrees. Coastal areas will be cooler, around +25…+29 degrees, due to low water temperatures.
The Urals will also see temperature fluctuations, with moderately warm weather transitioning to potential minor fluctuations before warming up again to +25…+30 degrees by the weekend. The north of the Ural Federal District is expected to receive above-normal precipitation.
Siberia will experience a brief period of hot weather, with temperatures between +25…+30 degrees, followed by a cooling trend. Thunderstorms, hail, and squally winds are possible. Southeastern Siberia will see the cold snap later, with the Irkutsk region expecting temperature decreases at the beginning of the following week.
The Far East, particularly the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories and the Amur Region, will face inclement weather due to two cyclones bringing prolonged rains and cooler temperatures between +12…+17 degrees. Yakutia will have varied conditions, with warm, dry weather in the center and temperatures reaching +21…+23 degrees in the west. Kamchatka will experience heavy rains due to a powerful cyclone.
Overall, the average monthly temperature is expected to be above normal in several regions, including the western Northwestern Federal District, the southwest of the Central Federal District, most of the Southern Federal District, the northeast of the Ural Federal District, most of the Siberian Federal District, the west of Yakutia, and Transbaikalia.
