Gradual shift to summer temperatures in Tomsk during May expected.
Chillin' in Tomsk: May Weather Ahead
Good vibes, Tomskites! Here's a heads up on what's brewing weather-wise for our beloved city next month. According to weather experts, we're in for a gradual warming trend without any major temperature leaps. No need to worry about significant rainfall either, as they predict negligible deviations from the usual norm.
Professor Irina Kuzechkaya from the Meteorology and Climatology Department at Tomsk State University shares this forecast data from Rosgidromet. Apparently, temperatures during the first week of May will fluctuate between 4 and 17 degrees Celsius. While a cyclonic weather system is expected to hit us on Saturday, May 3rd, it's unlikely to bring much precipitation. The system responsible for the late-April snowstorms in parts of the Ural Mountains and Western Siberia will have weakened by the time it reaches us.
Need something to look forward to? On particularly sunny May days, temperatures could soar up to 17-18 degrees Celsius. This starkly contrasts with last year, when May was surprisingly chilly, with below-average temperatures persisting well into the first week of June.
In other news, an extraordinary anti-fire regime has been implemented in various districts such as First May, Tomsk, Shegar, Zyryan, Bakchar, Kryvosheino, Molchanovo, Asino, Koжеvnikovo, and Tomsk City due to the increased fire risk. Caution votes are cast on open flame activities and fires, with potential fines ranging from 10,000 RUB for individuals to a whopping 800,000 RUB for corporations.
As for the meteorological details of May 2023, unfortunately, we couldn't find any historical data from the mentioned sources. So, let's enjoy the spring vibes and look forward to the natural beauty that Tomsk provides! 🌱☀️❄️
