The meteorologist predicts the duration of velvet season in Krasnodar Region
The velvet season, a significant factor for tourism in the Black Sea resorts of the Krasnodar Territory, is expected to continue well into October, according to a forecast by Roman Vilfand, the Scientific Director of Hydrometcenter.
Roman Vilfand has stated that the comfortable period will not end early this year, thanks to the high sea temperature in the Black Sea resorts. The current sea water temperature in Anapa stands at 25°C, while it is 28°C in Gelendzhik and Tuapse, 27°C in Temryuk and Yeisk, and a warm 29°C in Sochi.
Vilfand's forecast was reported by TASS on August 9. The extended velvet season is likely to boost tourism and economic activity in the region, providing a much-needed boost after the disruption caused by the magnetic storm that occurred in Krasnodar Krai on August 8.
It's worth noting that water, unlike air, is a very inertial substance, meaning it cools down much more slowly. This slow cooling process is contributing to the extended velvet season.
However, a report by Yuga.ru published on an unspecified date does not provide information related to the velvet season or its extension. Instead, the report discusses what protects from the heat more effectively in buses - air conditioning or film.
Roman Vilfand is a respected meteorologist and scientific director of Hydrometcenter. His forecasts are closely watched by those in the tourism and hospitality industries, as well as by the general public. The current sea water temperature in Novorossiysk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk is 26°C, further supporting Vilfand's forecast.
As the velvet season continues, visitors to the Black Sea resorts can look forward to comfortable swimming conditions well into October. This extended season is sure to bring joy to many and provide a much-needed boost to the local economy.
Roman Vilfand, the renowned meteorologist and Scientific Director of Hydrometcenter, has stated that the extended velvet season in the Black Sea resorts is due to the high sea temperature and the inertial nature of water, which cools down much more slowly. This extended period of environmental-science-related comfortable swimming conditions is likely to stimulate tourism and economic activity during the upcoming months.
