The hydrometeorological center promises that, despite the snowy and frosty winters, spring in the Chelyabinsk region will be early, and by the end of March its approach will be felt.
Omens
People have learned to accurately predict the weather for the coming winter quite a long time ago. There are many folk signs indicating how the weather will be in the winter months, whether to prepare for severe frosts and snowstorms.
To understand what the coming winter holds for us, it is worth observing and analyzing:
- How many summer mushrooms were there?
- Did the birds fly away to the warmer climes early?
- Is the rowan crop abundant?
- Was the weather cloudy and cold in the region on September 22, 2019 (to the Virgin)?
- Early aphids “changed” forest animals and do they have a thick undercoat?
- Fallen birch leaves before October?
- How many peels are on the bulbs?
Please note that if the answer to most of the questions is yes, then the coming winter will be harsh and protracted. If among the answers more often “no” comes across, then you can expect a mild winter with frequent thaws and frosts that do not exceed the temperature norm.
Monthly Long-Range Forecast
