The weather can be extremely changeable, but nowadays it is extremely useful to know when and what kind of weather to expect. After all, some of our plans depend on it.

Winter this year is unique, not as cold as usual, but quite prolonged. It began, not as always, in December, but in January. Based on this, we can assume that she plans to stay for another month. Now it is becoming unclear when to expect warmth and the onset of spring.

When the frosts end and spring 2018 comes: long-term forecast

Long-term weather forecasting is a fairly variable business. After all, the forecasting procedure itself involves fairly accurate calculations and forecasting for just a couple of days.

The problem is that when forecasting the weather, forecasters analyze not only some weather and atmospheric factors, such as pressure, humidity or temperature. But also winds, which is one of the main and determining factors in forecasting.

The weather also greatly depends on the direction of the wind and its power; for example, if the wind blows from the south, then most often you can expect warm and humid weather. If from the north, then most likely the weather will be dry and cold.

The problem is that not all winds have constant directions and they are extremely changeable. And if we take into account the fact that the weather depends quite heavily on them, it turns out that long-term forecasts can be extremely unstable.

When the frosts end and spring comes 2018: weather forecast for March

Most sites say that March this year will be more like February. The weather is expected to be changeable, temperatures will vary from -20 to +3 degrees Celsius.

Precipitation is expected quite often, in the form of snow and less often rain. Due to such strong changes in temperature and precipitation, air humidity is expected to be increased, on average about 70%.

The wind during this period is expected to be quite weak, from 1 m/s. up to 5 m/s. Of course, it may be stronger, but this is only on some days, and on average in the first month of spring, it will not rage much.

The sun will rarely appear in the sky. Only occasionally delighting us with the first warm rays. For the most part, the sky will be overcast and cloudy.

When the frost ends and spring comes 2018: the arrival of warmth

According to weather forecasters, the onset of spring this year can be expected no earlier than March 20, Wordyou has learned. But this period is also extremely controversial. Because according to official statements, weather forecasters do not yet have sufficient information on this topic. Therefore, I cannot say exactly when spring will come.

According to them, now there is only accumulation of information, and only after its completion will it be possible to say anything. Namely, a long-term weather forecast is expected from April to November.

Previously, March 23 was considered the day of the onset of spring. It's World Meteorology Day. And it was on this occasion that the arrival of spring was celebrated.

To summarize, March is expected to be cold and wet. The weather will be quite cloudy, but windless. By the end of March, forecasters can expect more accurate forecast for the future. And until these dates, winter continues to rule in the vastness of Russia.

Winter has not yet set in, and many are already wondering: what kind of spring awaits us in 2020? As you know, the weather is a very capricious and unpredictable lady, and neither experienced weather forecasters nor experts in folk superstitions can say for sure what it will be like in a week. However, there are still some assumptions.

Signs global warming on the planet and climate change we are already observing.

What kind of spring awaits us in 2020 according to weather forecasters?

According to the deputy head of the Hydrometeorological Center, spring in 2020 will enter into its legal rights without delay, that is, according to the calendar. As for some anomalous phenomena, then they are unlikely. At least, there are no prerequisites for them yet. Spring will be warm, but in March, somewhere in the middle of the month, frosts are possible.

According to the forecasts of some forecasters, spring in 2020 will please us with positive dynamics of temperature growth compared to last spring and even compared to the long-term norm. However, this will only be observed in North Caucasus District, Southern and southern Ural districts. As for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, on the contrary, in the spring there will be significant drops in temperature indicators observed by meteorologists for many years.

Despite the fact that spring in 2020 will be early, it will be protracted, according to meteorologists. There is a fairly high probability of a repeat of last spring, when warm, sunny weather established in most of our country at the beginning of March, which persisted throughout the spring, until the beginning of summer. However, there are suggestions that May 2020 will not be as warm as in 2019. This is due to the seismic activity that has been observed in the Sea of ​​Japan over the past few years. It is this phenomenon that will greatly affect the deterioration of the climate in Russia and the world as a whole.

What kind of spring awaits us in 2020 according to signs?

Some folk weather forecasters, which give a forecast based on folk signs, portend a slightly different picture. Although they, as well as professional meteorologists, claim that spring will come in early March, still, in their opinion, the weather in the first month of spring will be very dank and unpleasant.

Active melting of snow and ice, according to experts in folk wisdom, will occur only in early April. Then the cold will return to the central and northern zones of our country, although not for long. However, already in the first ten days of May 2020, the weather will change dramatically - real summer weather will set in, the air will warm up from 25 to 28 degrees during the day.

Of course, these are only speculative forecasts. Which one is more accurate - only time will tell. Do not forget that the weather in the spring of 2020 will depend on many factors and, above all, on the upcoming winter, its temperature and the amount of precipitation that will fall during this time of year.

The more snow falls in winter and the longer the frosts last, the later the blooming time will come. It is worth noting that the regions of our country, due to different geographical location and climate, will feel the arrival of spring differently. In some places the snow will melt away in March, and in others the grass will turn green only by the beginning of summer.

When will Spring come?
Signs and signs of spring

SPRING, the season that lasts in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth from the moment of the vernal equinox (March 20 or 21) to the summer solstice (June 21 or 22).

Great Soviet Encyclopedia.

SPRING is a transitional season, when there is a noticeable increase in daylight hours, the ambient temperature rises and the natural activity of living beings and plants intensifies.

"Wikipedia." Ed. from 03/20/2012

SPRING is when you can launch boats in the stream!

"Memories from childhood..."

Here: in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, Spring comes 7 times!

Calendar spring- begins March 1st according to the current Gregorian calendar and lasts three spring months March, April and May. - This Once.

Calendar spring according to the old style- begins on March 14 according to the current calendar and ends on June 14. - This Two.

Astronomical spring(according to the Sun): - occurs on the Day of the Spring Equinox on March 20 or 21.- This Three.

Meteorological spring- occurs when the actual average daily temperature exceeds 0°C.- This Four.

Climate spring - From time to time, climatologists themselves reassign the day of the arrival of spring: the day when the climatic norm of the average daily temperature rises above 0°C. In Moscow, climate spring begins on March 27 - This Five.

Since ancient times in Rus', people believed that spring comes when the rooks arrive(folk sign) - This Six.

Phenological spring- a rather vague concept, in the sense that to count its beginning, various annually recurring natural phenomena, for example: the appearance of icicles on the roofs of unheated premises (barn, gazebo, etc.), the appearance of the first spring (non-freezing at night) streams, etc. Everyone can choose a sign of the beginning of Spring to their liking. - This Seven.

Spring is usually divided into three periods: pre-spring, real spring, pre-flight (flight).

Pre-spring. The beginning of spring

Spring begins with the arrival of rooks. They arrive when the snow is already melting intensively. This period, called pre-spring, lasts until the snow melts. At this time, concessions to winter are still possible - the average daily temperature may drop below zero.

Real spring

Real spring comes when all the snow melts. Nature awakens, the grass begins to fill with an emerald shine, the buds swell and bloom on the trees, delighting us with the first soft green leaves... This period usually ends with the last return of cold weather, which comes during the flowering of bird cherry, after which the preflight (flight) begins.

Predletye

The pre-year period begins immediately after the “Cheremukhovy colds”, but I can’t say how it ends, when they tried to convey this simple wisdom, everything was already clear: “We study in the spring, and summer is when the holidays begin.” And now, alas, there is no one to ask...
Now the children themselves are starting to ask...
Maybe one of the readers can tell me?

What is spring like?

After dividing spring into periods, we can talk in detail about what spring is like. Most often they talk about early or late spring, then about protracted or friendly, gloomy or sunny, but very rarely, especially in Lately, O cold spring. All subsequent climatic examples will be given for central Russia.

Early spring(here we mean not a poetic synonym for pre-spring, but a climatic definition) - this is spring, in which pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in Moscow and the Moscow region, spring is considered early if intensive snow melting began before the first half of March.

Late spring- this, accordingly, is spring, in which the pre-spring occurs later than usual; in the Moscow region, spring is considered late if the pre-spring began in April.

I will also say about friendly spring - the remaining definitions, I believe, are intuitively clear without additional clarification.

Friendly Spring is considered to be the period in which the pre-spring period lasts no more than 10 days.

(preliminary forecast, compiled on January 15, 2019)

But it turns out that this year Spring, having shown its signs at the very beginning of March, will delay its final arrival almost until the last days of the month. Real spring can only come in early April (the snow will finally melt). March will be an early spring, but gloomy month, will begin with thaws, but in the second decade the thaws may abruptly give way to frosts. The end of March and the beginning of April will not please us very much with the spring sun. April will be noticeably warmer than normal at the beginning of the first decade, and then in the middle of the second. The May Day holidays will be relatively warm and sunny. Unfortunately, this year in the Moscow region, return May frosts are very likely; this could happen on the eve of Victory Day or immediately after it; almost summer warmth can be expected only by the end of the month; in the third ten days of May, warm but rather humid weather will set in.

06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, the morning of this day turned out to be cloudy, but by noon the clouds began to clear, the sun came out. During the day the clouds became less and less and by night it cleared up completely. Precipitation on this day was only indicated by light snow. This weather suggests that although spring in Moscow may begin early, the period of cloudy and slushy weather will last almost until mid-spring, but then it will get down to business and for the most part its second half will be warm and dry.

February, 15.Candlemas- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was relatively warm and cloudy, the air temperature was from -2 to -1°C, a weak westerly wind, at times snow, in the afternoon it began to clear up, while the temperature dropped to -4°C, the wind was north-west, then northerly with gusts up to 12 m/s, in the evening the temperature continues to drop from -4 to -8°C, clear, northerly wind gusts up to 15 m/s.
Such weather may mean that in the spring we will have a rather warm and not very sunny March and April, rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be noticeably warmer than normal, but the weather will be unstable and windy at first, and hot, dry weather will set in at the end of May.

March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- When you are waiting for spring, the main thing is that it doesn’t snow that day: “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” On Obretenye in Moscow in 2015 there was no snow...

Spring. year 2014. Moscow. (forecast by signs)

12/07/13 So far there are no direct signs about what the spring of 2014 will be like, but indirect ones (it seems that the signs that the winter will be “classical”, i.e. close to the climate norm, are beginning to be justified) we can assume that the coming spring will not be late.

The first sign about the weather in spring will be received in Fedosy Vesnyak Day (24.01.14).

Facts about the weather. Spring 2014.

January 24 V Fedosy Vesnyak Day The thermometer could only rise to -11.6°C - the average daily temperature was -15.5°C, while the norm was 9.7°C. It turns out that (see Signs about the weather)

06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, “Aksinya was clear!”- Early in the morning, the clouds that had covered the sky all night cleared and the weather remained clear all day, only in the late evening the sky became hazy. This weather suggests that spring in Moscow, although it will come with a slight delay, will be friendly, warm and dry.

February, 15.Candlemas- “At Candlemas the starry sky means late spring,” “What is the weather at Candlemas, such will be the spring.” There was no starry sky at Candlemas. On this day in Moscow from morning to evening it was warm and cloudy, air temperature +2 - +3°C, weak southwest wind, calm at times, in the evening it began to drizzle, ending with light rain and snow.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have quite warm and not very sunny March and April, but not rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be slightly warmer than normal, but the precipitation will correspond to the entire spring.

March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” There was no precipitation on Obretenye in Moscow, which means that even if there is still snow, it will not last long.

March 15th. Fedot Vetronos- On this day, Fedot, indeed, brought a gusty wind (11-12 m.s.) to Moscow. According to the saying: “Fedot is evil - do not be (in March according to the old style) with grass.” - it seems that nature has in store for this There will be a few unpleasant surprises this spring.

Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2014.

April 05 - meteorological spring has arrived (average daily temperature finally exceeded zero). The snow that fell in April has melted.

07 April- water from melted snow simply soaked into the ground - no streams .

Spring. year 2013. Moscow. (forecast by signs)

01/12/2013 By folk signs it turns out that this spring will be similar to the springs of the 70s and 80s - March will be almost winter month. Real spring will begin in the second ten days of April. In March and the first half of April, cloudy weather with precipitation will prevail. But May will be warm and dry, but in the first half it can also “please” with returning cold weather (this forecast will still be clarified based on later signs).

The 25th of January. According to weather signs in Fedosy Vesnyak Day(January 24 - average daily temperature -10.2°C) it turns out that there will be no early spring in Moscow(see Signs about the weather)

February 06. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. As Aksinya is, so is spring” - on this day in Moscow there was heavy snow in the morning, and then until At the end of the day the weather was cloudy and slushy - +1. This suggests that the first half of spring will be dominated by cloudy weather with precipitation.

February, 15. Candlemas- “What is the weather on Candlemas, such is the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was cold and cloudy, the temperature gradually increased from -8 to -5°C, variable northeast, weak north wind, clears in the afternoon for several hours of cloudless sky, maximum temperature -2.3°C, weak north wind, then calm, in the evening - partly cloudy, calm, getting colder.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have a rather cold March and the beginning of April with mostly cloudy weather, in the second half of April it will be warm and sunny until the beginning of May, and May as a whole will be cool, but not very rainy - will prevail partly cloudy.

March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- “If snow (falls) on Obretenye, then trample it until April (spring will drag on).” There was no precipitation in Moscow on Obretenye, which means that by April 14 (01.04 old style) almost all the snow will have melted - this means that there will be at least Spring and late, but friendly.

March 13. Vasily Teply (Kapelnik)- On Vasily, from the thawed patches around the trees, they determine: “Steep edges - spring is friendly.” - It turned out to be not easy to find trees with undisturbed snow in Moscow. Found. An interesting detail: the circle of a white birch is small, almost close to the trunk, while the circle of a thick old linden is half a meter away from the trunk, but the edges of all of them are steep, going vertically down. Spring will be friendly.

March 15th. Fedot Vetronos:"Fedot is evil - not to be (in March according to old style) with grass." (If there is bad weather or wind, then spring will be delayed, and the first fresh grass will appear only in April - by April 14 according to our modern calendar). In the old days they said about the weather that happened in Moscow on March 15: “Fedot came, but not the same one!” - gusty winds and 25 mm of precipitation per day. But in the end - nothing new, it’s already clear that spring will be late...

April 1 Over the weekend I found the following weather data for April: In the old days, the most recent annual frosts were Blagoveshchensk and they fell at the end of March according to the Julian calendar - according to the modern calendar their peak falls on April 7. Nowadays they almost never happen, otherwise everyone would know about them (everyone knows the Epiphany frosts), but this spring is such that anything can happen... I’ll make an amendment to the temperature chart for the Annunciation frosts (light green line), we’ll see. What will happen...
By the way, despite the fact that we are all tired of waiting for spring, these cold weather are needed to stop the melting of snow, otherwise, given how much snow has accumulated, spring flood could become an "all-Russian flood"

Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2013

March 20 at 15:02 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(The earth has passed the point of the vernal equinox, from this moment on the day longer than the night ). But the weather so far is such that it doesn’t even smell like spring: the temperature at night is -10°C; during the day -5°C; North wind; snowdrifts 60 cm high!

26 March - the rooks have arrived: a large flock of rooks sat down to rest on a huge old poplar right in front of our windows - Spring came! (the pre-spring has arrived).

March 27 the date set by meteorologists has arrived climatic Spring(The average daily temperature on this day, alas, is -8°C).

March 31 meteorological winter has ended and has come meteorological spring(the average daily temperature on that day exceeded 0°C and never fell below this level again).

April 05 streams stopped freezing at night. But my “test stream” appeared only today - the mass of snow accumulated over the winter, at first, held back melt water in itself. I took a video of the stream that just appeared from my phone, last year’s video was also preserved there - the comparison was simply amazing... I invite you to take a look at the video:

Video. Spring impromptu from the phone. 04/05/2013. Moscow, pond on Vyazemskaya, test stream. Sounds of Spring.

07.04.2013. I planned to re-shoot the episode from April 5 in higher quality, and so that everything would be the same as last year’s recording.
Alas, in the morning it was snowing and raining, and the stream was barely flowing, but still flowing! And this despite the sub-zero temperature at night! In general, if the picture has changed, then in the sense of the mood for spring, only for the worse - I decided to leave everything as it is... (According to official weather data, the height of the snow cover decreased during this time from 48 to 45 cm).

April 17 at the meteorological site of the All-Russian Exhibition Center the snow has completely melted - the real spring.

Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2012

March 28- rooks arrived (they definitely saw them), in an arc version on March 25 (it is possible that they were rooks - from afar, unreliable) - spring has come ( pre-spring).

April 28 +26.3°C(in fact, there is an element of deceit in our calculation of time, because this is leap year and, in theory, the date corresponding to ordinary years is April 29).

April 29- temperature record (maximum) for this date for the entire observation period - +28.9°C(nothing to complain about here, it really is a temperature record!)
