On April 2, the air in Moscow will warm up to +8 ° С. According to the Hydrometeorological Center, in the afternoon it will be cloudy in the capital, but without precipitation. North, northeast wind speeds of 3-8 m / s are expected.

Until Thursday, the weather in Moscow and the region will determine the anticyclone. Atmospheric pressure is high, so no precipitation is expected. At night, the temperature will continue to fall below zero, during the daytime the temperatures will be above zero. On Wednesday and Thursday the thermometers will rise to + 7 ... + 9 ° С. According to weather forecasters, these are indicators close to the norm.

Scientific Director of the Hydrometeorological Center Roman Vilfand told TASS that “real spring heat up to 15 degrees above zero will come to Moscow in the second half of April”.

Anatoly Tsygankov, Deputy Head of the Situation Center of the Hydrometeorology Center, explained to RT that in the current conditions temperature differences from plus to minus are quite typical.

"In the conditions of the continental climate in such periods as spring and autumn, when there is an anticyclone, the weather is cloudy, and the pressure is high, there are great contrasts," the meteorologist noted.

The expert cited the example of Yakutia, where in April the difference between night and day temperatures can reach 20-30 degrees. When the sky is clear during the day, the air can warm up well, and at night the clouds do not retain heat and cooling occurs. Such phenomena are characteristic of the continental part of the country.

“Now we have such a situation. We have a cyclone over the Barents Sea and it closes the inflow of cold air from the north. That is, we are in a stable air mass and the weather is cloudy. Due to this, it turns out that at night all the heat goes into space, and during the day the air is heated by the sun. Because of this, drops happen, ”said Tsygankov.

According to him, such drops will stop with the onset of summer.

Changes by the end of the week

The Moscow Met Office confirmed that in the coming days the weather will be determined by the anticyclone, so no precipitation is expected. On the night from Tuesday to Wednesday in the capital, thermometers will show -1 ... -3 ° С, in the region up to -4 ° С. On Thursday night, a warming of 1-2 degrees is possible. The maximum temperature in Moscow on Wednesday and Thursday will be + 7 ... + 9 ° С.

“This air temperature will be just above the climatic norm. Unfortunately, the weather will be less comfortable at the end of the working week and the next weekend. We expect the weather to change on Friday. At the end of the week the weather will be determined by a cyclone, cloudiness is expected. The nights will be warmer, ”said Tatyana Pozdnyakova, chief specialist of the Moscow Meteorological Bureau, RT.

According to her estimates, at night the figures will be positive, but during the day due to cloudiness the temperature will not be too high. It is expected that the thermometer will rise to + 5 ... + 7 ° С. Possible increased wind and precipitation.

At the weekend cloudy weather will remain, but in some places clearing is possible. At night, the temperature will be slightly above zero: + 1 ... + 3 ° С. Frosts are still possible in the region. In the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday in the metropolitan area is expected to + 7 ... + 9 ° C. Pozdnyakova noted that these indicators are close to the climatic norm.

"That is, if before that, at the end of March, the temperature was significantly above the norm, then now it will be, if it is higher, then by 2-3 degrees," the forecaster concluded.

In the central regions of the European territory of Russia, the western anticyclone dominates, therefore "atmospheric pressure is expected to be 10 or more units above the spring norm." This is reported on the website of the Hydrometeorological Center.

In the coming days, the weather is expected to be sunny and rainless.

In the southern part of the Central Federal District, the influence of the atmospheric fronts of the Caspian cyclone will be felt; therefore, little precipitation will pass. During the day it is expected to be + 3 ... + 10 ° С, at night also -6 ... + 1 ° С.

In the northwest of the European territory due to the anticyclone, the weather is expected to be warmer than the climatic norm by 2-4 degrees. So in the Leningrad region in the afternoon the temperature will be + 5 ... + 10 ° С, in the Pskov and Novgorod regions up to + 12 ° С.
