Anticipated Warm Start to Summer in Tomsk
Tomsk, May 25 - RIA Tomsk
Climatologist Irina Kuževskaya at Tomsk State University predicts above-average temperatures in Tomsk during June, with a projected range of 18-20 degrees Celsius. This figure is higher than the usual norm. The forecast similarly indicates warm temperatures for the subsequent summer months, and a drier-than-usual August.
According to Kuževskaya, the temperature deviation may exceed four degrees Celsius during the first ten days of June across much of southern Western Siberia, including the Tomsk region. However, temperatures will eventually return closer to the norm.
Kuževskaya mentioned that the number of spring frosts in Tomsk is unlikely to increase due to the expected warmer temperatures, and frost-free periods should commence as usual. She also indicated that there are no plans for strong Arctic intrusions in June, which would potentially cause frost.
When discussing the resulting weather conditions, Kuževskaya pointed out that the increased temperature range could foster thunderstorms. There may be occasional extended periods of heat, but thunderstorms will not be a common occurrence, with a few instances anticipated monthly.
The climatologist further forecasted that temperatures in July and August, according to preliminary projections, would also be warmer than usual by 1-2 degrees Celsius. The projected average temperature for July is approximately 20 degrees Celsius, while August is expected to be approximately 18 degrees Celsius. The amount of rainfall in August may not meet the expected norm.
It is essential to note that these forecasts are preliminary, and specific weather patterns could lead to variations from these expectations. For more detailed information, consulting local climatological data or experts like Kuževskaya is advisable.
In the coming months, Tomsk might witness warmer-than-usual temperatures, as environmental science predicts June temperatures to range between 18-20 degrees Celsius. This rise in temperature could potentially stimulate occasional thunderstorms during this period, according to climatologist Irina Kuževskaya.
