Бал­кан за­тр­пао Ру­си­ју

Не­ко­ли­ко да­на нам је у по­се­ти би­ла пра­ва ру­ска зи­ма. Ре­кло би се оче­ки­ва­но, јер је и у са­мој Ру­си­ји би­ла оштра, а сма­тра­мо да кад та­мо за­гу­ди до­ђе и до нас. При­мер је ко­ша­ва: кад се из­над Укра­ји­не и ју­жне Ру­си­је ство­ри по­ље ви­со­ког ат­мос­фер­ског при­ти­ска (ан­ти­ци­клон), он­да се пре­ко Кар­па­та сју­ри ка Ђе­нов­ском за­ли­ву да се ујед­на­чи с та­мо­шњим ни­ским ат­мос­фер­ским при­ти­ском (ци­клон), због че­га нам се зи­ми ле­ди крв у жи­ла­ма.

TL;DR

  • A severe winter storm, identified as Balkan cyclone "Francis," brought record snowfall to Moscow and central Russia.
  • The cyclone generated 65% of the monthly precipitation in a single day in central Russia, with Moscow experiencing 37 cm of snow, surpassing a 56-year-old record.
  • "Francis" originated as heavy rain in Southern Europe, specifically North Macedonia, before moving northeast and transforming into a snowstorm due to colliding air masses.
  • The storm caused blizzards and power outages in Belarus before reaching central Russia.
  • Russian meteorologists, like Tatiana Pozdnyakova and Alexander Shuvalov, question the commercial practice of naming cyclones, suggesting "Francis" is an arbitrary name not related to the storm's origin or characteristics.
  • Evgeny Tishkovets predicts record low temperatures in Moscow, possibly reaching -30 degrees Celsius by January 20th.
  • Another Balkan cyclone, "Barbara," affected the Russian Black Sea coast in October, bringing rain and snow to the Caucasus.
  • In December 2023, Balkan cyclone "Vanya" also caused heavy snow in European Russia.
