Krasnodar is located in the south-west of the country about 100 km from the Black and Azov Seas. It is located on the border of the temperate and subtropical climatic zones, which leads to long summers and relatively warm winters. What kind of winter will be affected by air masses that invade Krasnodar from the continent and from the Black Sea. In 2019-2020, significant disasters are not forecasted in winter, and temperature indicators will not have significant deviations from the standard level. A slight increase in average daily temperature is possible, since a similar trend has been observed for several years in a row.
Climate features
Krasnodar is located in the southernmost region of Russia. Local weather is not typical for most other constituent entities of the Russian Federation, since a subtropical climate prevails in the Krasnodar Territory. The warm air masses that come from the Black Sea provide stable heat throughout the year.
Since the city is located on the northern border of the subtropical climate zone with transition to moderate, the weather here is changeable. Arctic cyclones coming from the continent bring cold winds with them and help lower temperatures below zero. The Caucasus Mountains, which create an obstacle to their free movement, really show their abilities to the Arctic air masses.
Due to the peculiarities of the geographical location, severe frosts are rare in this area, and winters are mostly warm with a periodic drop in temperature below zero. Winter Krasnodar is characterized by the following weather conditions:
- average daily temperature + 5 ... + 10;
- rare snow that melts quickly;
- it often rains (sometimes mixed with snow);
- sudden changes in weather;
- strong winds;
- rare frosts (in this case, the temperature may drop below -10).
