Forecasters spoke about “fabulous” weather on New Year’s Eve
The weather in Moscow and the region in the last days of 2024 will be far from winter. The air temperature will remain around zero degrees, but New Year's Eve promises to be “fabulous” - weather forecasters predict light frosts and snow. Vedomosti writes about this.
The chief specialist of the Meteonovosti news agency, Tatyana Pozdnyakova, said that on December 29, the air temperature in the region will fluctuate from plus 1 to minus 1 degree, and no precipitation is expected. According to the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia Roman Vilfand, the next day will be even warmer - the air temperature will rise to plus 3 degrees.
“This is eight degrees above the climate norm and is more consistent with the first ten days of November,” he said.

Pozdnyakova claims that the situation will change on December 31, when a deep cyclone will spread to the region, the center of which will be over the Barents Sea. Forecasters say that already during the day the air temperature will begin to drop to -3 or -6 degrees, although such indicators also exceed the climate norm. According to Pozdnyakova, Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region will celebrate New Year's Eve with slight frosts.
“But the best part is that from the middle of the day on December 31, it will snow, which will cover the ground with a white blanket,” she said.
Vilfand, in turn, called the weather in the region “fabulous.” “On New Year’s Day, magical processes happen. Light frost and snow will create an atmosphere of comfort and magic,” he believes.

Pozdnyakova claims that frosts will continue in January. On Christmas Day in Russia, the air temperature could drop to minus 10 degrees, forecasters predict.
Leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, Mikhail Leus, warned that the frosts that come after the thaw could lead to icy conditions on the roads.
In November, scientists interviewed by The Guardian reported that the last decade will be the hottest on record, and 2024 will be the first year that the Earth's temperature will be above the threshold at which irreversible climate change begins.
According to analysis by World Weather Attribution (WWA) and Climate Central, the climate crisis in 2024 resulted in people being exposed to dangerous heatwaves for an average of six weeks longer.
