Climate in the Caucasus Changed

The North Caucasus is not as cold as the name suggests. Who has never been in these parts, then he does not know that there are a lot of different fruitful trees and shrubs growing here, fruits and berries, which in the central strip of the Russian Federation can not be found. One of these fruits can be cited as an example of a whisper - the Caucasian peach. Well, if we talk about varieties of grapes, then we get a long conversation. Vineyards of the Caucasus can compete only with the varieties of the Crimea.

And everything would be fine in the North Caucasus, if not for climate change in the last five years. Surprising is the fact that the temperature movement occurs in two directions - in winter in the low side, in summer it rises more than 45 degrees. For five years of such temperature changes, the climate began to change not for the better

If we trace the weather forecast in Vladikavkaz over the past few years on an average scale, then the winters have cooled by minus ten degrees during this time, and the summers have become hotter by 15 degrees.

In North Ossetia, with the most favorable weather conditions, the Mozdok district was considered. There have always been soft winds, timely rains and mild sunshine. The region was famous for early cucumbers and tomatoes. Today the weather forecast for Mozdok has deteriorated at times. Cucumbers did not live until the middle of the first summer month, and tomatoes in the middle of July are burned by merciless sun rays. Without special protection to grow vegetables and fruits has become difficult.

The old people say that there has never been such a thing here that vegetables, fruits and berries burn, as they say, on the vine. They remember that 20-30 years ago, no trees, no bushes, no winter crops were killed by frost. Recently, the winters have become noticeably cold, and snow has fallen much less than in previous years. No snow in the winter - do not wait for the harvest in the summer.

There is a suggestion that these climatic conditions began to appear after the earthquake in the Indian Ocean, when the earth's axis shifted by 5 degrees. It can be assumed that the climate here will change for more than one year and when it will find a stable state - no one can assume.

Residents of the North Caucasus are accustomed to eating quality foods grown in their fields, orchards and gardens, so now there is an adaptation and adaptation of cultures to a new climate. People make various awnings from protective nets, so that tomatoes and cucumbers live, like 5-6 years ago, until late autumn. It remains only to hope for the best.
