Back to Winter's Grip in Nizhny Novgorod Region
May has turned chilly in the Nizhny Novgorod region, and it's not just your imagination. An unexpected twist! The Krasnobakovsky, Urensky, and Shakhunsky districts received snowfall on the 2nd. Local Telegram channels broke the news.
Ring a bell for winter! The sudden weather change left drivers caught off guard. Unprepared for the snowfall and icy roads, many drivers found themselves in tricky situations.
In Shakhunsky district, a 65-year-old driver of a VAZ car skidded off the road, thanks to the weather conditions. Not the ideal way to start the week, huh?
Now, to put things in perspective, this cold isn't just a typical May chill. According to experts, about 70% of Russia’s territory was still blanketed with snow in late April[1]. That's close to a third! Although temperatures slightly rose, hovering around +14-16°C by May 3-4, and foretelling the warmest day at +19°C on May 8, they're now back to +14-15°C. Rain showers are also looming, adding to the dismal weather[1].
While this cold snap isn't the talk of the town as "unprecedented," it's a stark contrast to normal May weather patterns, leading to some chaotic conditions for spring activities. Industrial developments in the region may undergo logistical difficulties due to the erratic weather[4]. Buckle up, folks! It seems like we're in for a bumpy ride. ❄️🚙🌧️💪🏼
