Where is the hottest summer in Russia. Weather in Russia

To the anomalous weather the Russians are already accustomed. In recent years, heat has been breaking all records recorded over the past 100 years. Meteostatistics told that in its entire history the hottest summer in Russia was issued in 2010. However, some regions of Russia in the summer of 2014 also experienced an unprecedented heat, especially its Central part. Since the beginning of August, the degree mark has reached a higher - red - level of danger.

Regions where unprecedented heat was observed

In 2010, anomalous weather came to Eastern Siberia and the Far East. The central and Volga districts became the hottest in August. Heat was observed in the south of the country and the North Caucasus. Kursk and Voronezh experienced an excess of the climatic norm of the average daily air temperature by 7 degrees. The mercury column showed 36 degrees above zero.

Anomalies have affected even the north of Yakutia and the Arctic islands, where people have not seen such a heat in the whole history. Here, the air temperature exceeded the average daily climatic norm by 3 degrees. Residents of the Sakha Republic observed 38 degrees Celsius in the shade! These indicators are not far from extreme. In the lower reaches of the Kolyma, the air warmed to 25 degrees.

Primorye, Sakhalin, Kuril Islands ... The Far Eastern District also became the hottest in August 2010.

Above 30 degrees was in the European part, according to the Hydrometeorological Center, these are the highest marks in the entire history of observations. In July, a 40-degree mark was recorded in the Volga region, Tatarstan, Karelia, Komi, Kuban, Bashkiria, Stavropol, the North Caucasus, Kalmykia and other areas.

What was happening in Moscow

In Moscow, temperature records over the past years have been beaten dozens of times. The capital of Russia was in the lead, leaving behind Cyprus, Israel and Egypt - countries that are warmer. Here abnormally high temperature for 33 consecutive days. The most impressive achievement was the raising of the mercury column on July 28 to 38.2 degrees Celsius. The water in the Moscow River warmed up to almost 30 degrees, which is higher than on the Crimean coast.

In the hottest summer in Russia in 2010 in the suburbs, 40 degrees were observed in the shade, which is 5 degrees higher than the 1951 record.

How can we explain such anomalously high temperatures?

There are many versions of the anomalous summer of 2010. The involvement in this person is still unclear. There is an opinion that the cause was space - the increase in solar activity, the coincidence in 2010 of the amplitudes of the solar and lunar cycles.

The Hydrometeorological Center of Russia claims that cyclical fluctuations of the Earth's atmosphere have appeared, one of the reasons for which is the tidal effect of the moon. In addition, the ozone content in the upper atmosphere dropped sharply. As is known, it is ozone that protects the planet from excessive heating by the sun's rays. Due to all these reasons, the weather in Russia has changed. Winters have become even more severe, and the summer months are characterized by unprecedented heat.

Adverse changes are observed not only in temperature, but also in other "genres" of weather. For example, in 2010, precipitation fell just 90 mm, while in 2002 it was 24 mm, which is again a record. And precipitation fell very unevenly. In the central part of Russia, there was no rain for 2 months at all, and then heavy rains hit the ground, again causing cataclysms.

Climatic weapons?

The idea of using climate weapons against Russia is being actively discussed among scientists and the military, and the population.

In Alaska there is an American HAARP station, launched in 1997. This huge field of 14 hectares. On all surfaces are arranged 180 antennas and 360 radio transmitters 22 meters high. It is known that 250 million dollars have been spent on equipping the "field". Officially, the northern lights are being studied here , but the station is controlled not by scientists, but by the military.

Some experts (in Europe and Asia) believe that this is a formidable climate weapon that can cause not only anomalous heat, but also typhoons, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions. In support of their hypotheses, they lead the world statistics, according to which it is since 1997 that the planet is shaken by the most powerful natural disasters that claimed tens of thousands of lives.

Consequences of heat

As a result of heat, the concentration of harmful substances in the air increased several times. It was hard for people to breathe. The Hydrometeorological Center of Russia reported that the situation was complicated by the absence of precipitation, which had a minimal amount.

According to statistics, many people became victims of heat, especially over 50 years old. Cores, hypertensive patients, asthmatics, diabetics suffered greatly. Due to poor health, their body could not cope with extreme temperatures, resulting in many crises. Most exacerbations had a lethal outcome, some were suffocating right in their sleep.

As a result of the heat, Russia was also affected by fires. The ignition was recorded at 22 sites in 134 settlements, more than 2,000 houses were burnt and 60 people were killed. It was difficult in Ryazan, Vladimir, Sverdlovsk, Mordovia, Mari El. In the second half of July, weather stations recorded a smoke-filled atmosphere, by the end of the month the situation was further aggravated. Because of the fire, the US State Department imposed a restriction on entry to Russia.

A serious consequence of the heat were numerous forest fires, as a result of which hundreds of hectares of forest were destroyed.

Statistics

The hottest summer in Russia in 2010 was the first in 130 years. There is a version that the abnormal weather has a certain periodicity and is repeated every 35 years due to the ebb and flow of the moon. It was hot in 1938, then in 1972. It is possible to continue - 2010, although the interval has exceeded 38 years. Weather statistics in Moscow for the period since 1938 suggests that the average daily temperature became higher by 5-7 degrees in the summer, and this is constantly observed, every season.

If you take the statistics of the average air temperature in Moscow, the weather for 10 years has changed significantly. In 2002, the average July temperature was 21 degrees, and in 2012 - 23 degrees. The average daily maximum was recorded in 2010 - 26 degrees Celsius, which is 4 degrees higher than in previous years. In August of the same year, the average temperature was 22 degrees, which is 2 degrees higher than in 1938-2011.

The hottest summer in Russia is yet to come

However, the summer of 2011 brought new records to Russia. For 50 years this kind of heat has not been seen in Tomsk, the Volga region. By the mark of 40 degrees above zero, the population is almost accustomed.

St. Petersburg observed an excess of average temperatures over the absolute maximum recorded in 2010. The beginning of July was the hottest in the history of the northern capital, on July 2, with a mercury column at 31 degrees, it broke all records for the last 100 years. According to statistics, the temperature rose to 30 degrees in 1907.

A new record was set in Volgograd and Astrakhan. The mark exceeded 43 degrees. Krasnodar also distinguished itself, which in principle is considered a hot region in Russia. However, in 2011 the capital of the region became a record holder with an average daily rate exceeding by 12 degrees.

After 2010, the hottest summer in Russia was issued in 2012. It became historical. In the settlement of Utta in Kalmykia, the mark exceeded by 5.5 degrees the highest recorded temperature in this place. Residents are already accustomed to this heat and are ready for a new summer season, although for many, especially asthmatics and people with heart disease, the abnormal summer has become a serious test in terms of health.

What lies ahead? The earth will turn into an oven?

According to the hydrometeorological center, this is not the limit. Weather statistics by year indicate that global warming is on the rise. However, with what it is connected, no one can say with certainty. In 30-40 years, such a heat in Russia can turn into a norm.

What awaits us ahead? There is no unequivocal answer, because the opinions of the weather forecasters vary greatly. The fact that we are awaited by warming in the next 10 years, and the weather in Russia is changing, already no one doubts. Periodicity is no longer valid, because anomalies are repeated almost every year in recent times. Scientists from NASA claim that the abnormal weather in Russia and could be repeated in the coming year.

Meteorologists are able to give the weather forecast for a maximum of a couple of weeks, but what will happen in six months, just can not say no one.
