Storm delivered thunders and chill temperatures to Saint Petersburg
After a prolonged heatwave, the weather in St. Petersburg is set to change significantly over the coming days. According to meteorological predictions, the city will experience a noticeable temperature drop, with daytime highs falling from around 30°C down to about 18°C and below [1][2][5].
The cooler conditions are anticipated to start from tomorrow, with temperatures dropping to a "mild" 22 to 24 degrees Celsius [6]. In the following days, temperatures are expected to range mostly between 15°C and 22°C, with lows near 10–12°C, marking a cooling trend after the hot spell [1][2][3].
The approaching change in weather is also expected to bring showers and thunderstorms. Rain and showers are likely to occur intermittently, with August generally having many rainy days (around 19 rainy days this month) [1][3][5]. Although the precipitation is expected to be frequent, it is not expected to be as heavy as during the heatwave’s peak [3][5].
In addition to the temperature drop and rain, a wind direction change is also expected. Winds are currently forecasted to be mostly from the northwest with speeds around 10 mph [2]. This northwesterly wind is common after a heatwave ends, contributing to the cooler conditions [2].
The weather warning for St. Petersburg is due to an approaching storm. Roshydrometcenter has announced a "yellow" weather warning for the city due to the approaching storm [4]. Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the "Fobos" weather center, reports that St. Petersburg will be covered by cumulus clouds in the afternoon [7]. Brief showers and local thunderstorms are expected in St. Petersburg on the fifth of August [8].
Meanwhile, the Leningrad region's temperature range is not mentioned in this paragraph, but it is expected to range from 24 to 29 degrees Celsius [9]. A cyclone is moving into the Upper Volga regions and will influence St. Petersburg's weather [10].
In brief, St. Petersburg is set to experience a temperature drop from highs near 30°C to around 18°C and sometimes cooler within a few days. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to occur intermittently, with rain on many days through August. The wind direction is predicted to be predominantly northwesterly at roughly 10 mph. This pattern reflects the end of the heatwave and transition to more typical late summer weather in St. Petersburg [1][2][3][5].
The weather forecast predicts a significant drop in St. Petersburg's temperatures, with the cooler conditions anticipated to start tomorrow, reaching mild temperatures of 22 to 24 degrees Celsius. In the following days, weather-forecasting indicates that temperatures will range mostly between 15°C and 22°C, accompanied by showers and thunderstorms due to an approaching storm.
