Winter in Russia (climatic features)

For most foreigners, winter Russia is associated with crackling frosts, heavy snowfalls and blizzards. But, not all regions of our vast country are in such a harsh climate. As you move from the northern to the southern regions, the climate will also change from the arctic and subarctic to continental (most of the country) and subtropical (coast of the Caucasus).

How different the weather for New Year 2020 can be in different cities of Russia can show a graph of the average January temperature for regions located in different climatic zones.

The coldest point is Oymyakon, where in the winter months the temperature can drop below -60 ° C. It is warmest in winter in the coastal cities of Crimea and the Caucasus. Here, winter can please you in spring with warm days and plus air temperature. If you are not upset by the dampness and lack of snow cover for the New Year, choose the warm southern regions. It is worth noting that snow is also not a problem to find here, just climb the mountains, where guests will find snow-covered ski slopes and a New Year's mood.

But still, for most Russian cities, the climatic norm is snowy and frosty winters with snowstorms and snowfalls, as well as rare short periods of thaws, during which the air temperature does not rise above zero.

Weather for the New Year in the capital

For Russia, meteorologists have already prepared a long-term weather forecast that promises residents and guests of Moscow for the New Year 2020 moderate frosts and light snow.

On the last day of 2019, the air temperature will be within -4 ... -9 ° С, which will allow adults and children to fully enjoy the New Year's entertainment, which will be organized not only on Red Square, but also in other areas of the capital.

In the first decade of 2020, the temperature will begin to drop rapidly and at night the frost will reach -20 ° C, weakening the grip in the daytime. The next thaw is expected only after Christmas.

Weather for other regions

When asked what the weather will be in a particular region of Russia for the New Year 2020 can give a long-term weather forecast. But, it is worth considering that the assumptions of weather forecasters are not always confirmed, because the formation of weather conditions is influenced by many factors, and the processes occurring under the influence of global warming not only change the climatic picture of the regions, but also make nature unpredictable.

central region

In the central part of Russia, the upcoming winter promises to be snowy, with moderate frosts and steady snow cover.

According to preliminary forecasts, on December 31, 2019, the following temperature conditions are expected in the cities of the region:

Northwest Region

Travelers who want to visit St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk and other cities in the region will be met by real winter. The snowfall, which is expected in the last week of December, will decorate the cities, turning into scenery for a magical winter fairy tale.

It will also be frosty on New Year's Eve. Chance of light snow, but without strong gusts of wind.

Far East

The Far Eastern region is one of the coldest in Russia. Winters here are always snowy, cold and long, with strong snowstorms, gusts of wind and severe night frosts.

Meteorologists predict such weather conditions in large cities of the Far East:

Ural

If last season the winter in the Urals pleased with relatively high temperatures and excellent weather, then on December 31, 2019, winter will fully declare its presence here.

In the northern regions, at night the temperature drops to record -25 ° С and more, but residents and guests of Bashkiria will be able to enjoy outdoor activities during the day, because they promise comfortable -4 ° С.

Siberia

In all cities of Siberia, snow cover forms long before the calendar winter. Although the hydrometeorological center promises residents of Western and Eastern Siberia thaw periods in mid-December, just according to weather forecasts, a period of sharp cooling will fall on December 31.

As you can see, in almost all corners of Siberia, clear weather is expected, which always brings with it a sharp cooling.

Volga region

Weather for the New Year in the Volga region, on the contrary, will please the thaw. After a short December cold snap, during which night temperatures in some cities will be picked at -20 ° C, meteorologists promise the region's residents excellent weather for the New Year holidays with a comfortable temperature and light snow.

South Region

The warmest winter in 2020 awaits the southern regions of the country - the Krasnodar Territory, the coast of the Caucasus and the Crimean Peninsula.

In the southern regions, clear sunny weather is expected on December 31, 2019. Snow here can only be found in the mountains, since weather conditions will not allow a stable snow cover to form on the plains.

Visiting the coastal cities, you can enjoy a walk along the promenade, incredible sea views and a variety of entertainment. Ski lovers will always be able to plunge into this winter by visiting one of the many ski slopes.

Conclusion

A long-term weather forecast is a great opportunity to evaluate how a particular region of Russia can meet a guest and how to prepare for a trip planned for the New Year 2020 or Christmas holidays.

But, experienced travelers argue that it is not worthwhile to make plans solely according to weather forecasts, because it is possible to predict cooling or precipitation with a high degree of probability only 5-7 days before a specific date.If you decide to go on holiday to Moscow, Khabarovsk or Yalta, it is worth considering several options for entertainment and tourist routes (for good and bad weather).
