three climatic record was set in Moscow on may 31. Forecasters congratulated Muscovites on the rainiest may day in history, the wettest may in history and the most rainy in history in the spring. In the city and in many districts of the Moscow region, rescuers and services now eliminate the consequences of abnormal rainfall.
Past spring season, and he may, at first, does not particularly stood out and was not on any records. But at the end of the month over the capital region literally opened up the abyss of heaven: 95 mm — for almost two monthly norms of precipitation fell over three days. Nothing like that in Moscow did not happen over the entire period of instrumental observations.
of Course, such records are not something that should be pleased. In the capital on may 31, the amount of precipitation was 34 mm. Comparable figures were given, and the meteorological station near Moscow. But by this time the rivers have flooded. In many areas now recorded flooding of houses, floods on the roads. Some settlements at all have been cut off from the world with water.
If on may 29 and 30 poured into the main centre of Russia, 31 may, the rainfall has considerably expanded its geography. To fill in the beginning and other regions. In particular, all swam in Kazan.
And tonight, the elements came to the Urals. The storm has already covered the Bashkiria — there was a hailstorm. According to reports in social networks, some icicles had reached the size of eggs. It was also noted the strong winds. In the three settlements it damaged the roofs of houses in 30 villages have been a power outage.
And the weather station in Sverdlovsk region at the moment, record rainfall that intensity even surpass Moscow: more than 40 mm in 12 hours! And now the rains have already observed in the vast territory from the Western borders of Russia to the Siberia.
the Reason the record of the weather — the confrontation between two very different kinds of atmospheric formations. Just last week over the Black sea formed active cyclone. Incorporating a warm air mass, he moved North. But at the same time over the West of Eurasia began to grow cold Scandinavian anticyclone. And they bump just above Central Russia. The contrasts in temperature in the front zone is huge. In the same Ufa on Sunday was almost +30 degrees, and in Moscow only 12 degrees.
of Course, in such a situation over the zone of collision of heat and cold, began to grow powerful caps of clouds. At first they concentrated in a relatively small area, in the district of Moscow region. But now a cloud was stretched along the entire front section and the covers have all from the Balkans through Central Russia and the Urals to Siberia. Take geographical redistribution of areas precipitation will lead to the fact that the showers will be concentrated in the same areas, therefore, the abnormally powerful precipitation the wait is not worth it.
In Ufa, for example, even today will be a little rain, and after yesterday’s 30 degrees Celsius temperature will not exceed 22 degrees. Tomorrow will be another 3 degrees cooler, but without showers. Later in the daytime is expected comfortable +21-22 degrees, no precipitation is expected only on June 4.
as for Moscow, that here the storm is saved, but it will not be as intense as last week. The capital will remain under the influence of the old slow-moving cyclone, so the sky will continue to close the cloud. According to estimates, in the first five days of summer, the metropolis can obtain about 40% of the June moisture reserves is much less than poured out of the city in the last three days. However, given the complex hydrological environment, should be ready for the new rise of river levels. As for warming, it will only come by the weekend.
