Weather and health

In the north-west of European Russia in the next 24 hours, the collision of two contrasting air masses will provoke the formation of a huge cyclonic vortex. Therefore, the weather in the region will change dramatically - warmth and sun will be replaced by coolness and rain. The air also warmed up to +20°C in the northwestern region. But in the next 24 hours the temperature will drop on Wednesday afternoon to +4...+9оС. The cold snap will be accompanied by rain and gusty winds. On Thursday the rains will stop, and the temperature at night will approach 0°C, during the day it will rise to +7...+12°C. There will be a tendency for the weather to change in the central region of Russia. On Wednesday, starting from the western regions, there will be rain, during the day +12...+18оС. On Thursday, the cyclone's influence will intensify, rain will become more likely, and temperatures will drop by two to four degrees.

In the capital at night, no precipitation, minimum temperature +4...+6оС, during the day +16...+18оС, southwest wind, 3--8 m/s.

In St. Petersburg there is light rain, temperature at night +5...+7оС, during the day +7...+9оС.

In the north-west of European Russia, due to fluctuations in basic meteorological parameters, the well-being of people suffering from chronic diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, inflammatory diseases of the joints and spine may worsen. In the central regions, a decrease in atmospheric pressure can provoke a deterioration in well-being in people suffering from vegetative-vascular dystonia, arterial hypotension, and a tendency to asthenoneurotic conditions. These individuals may experience headaches, pain in the heart, a feeling of fatigue, and decreased vitality.
