#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. In some areas of Siberia, as well as in the Urals and the European part of the country, the abnormally warm winter is explained by a rare climate phenomenon – the movement of warm air from the Mediterranean and northern Africa. Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, told Lenta.ru about this.
The current weather corresponds to the first ten days of April, if we draw parallels with the norms for the last 30 years.
At the same time, the cyclone is very deep, so much so that its influence extends over a large territory. Therefore, in part of Russia, spring weather is now observed, it is raining, and there will be very little snow.
Earlier, scientists reported that the influence of the La Niña phenomenon will be insignificant.
A sharp change in climate can provoke the emergence of new islands in the Arctic.
