Unusual clouds that appeared the day before in the sky over the Scottish city of Glasgow did not bode well. And so it happened. Pretty soon, the wind accelerated so much that it began to rip roofs off houses and tear power lines! Gusts reached 41 meters per second! Even at the beginning of the storm, the planes were almost blown away during landing. Later in the UK, flights were postponed, ports were closed, and trains were stopped. The passage was hindered by trees on the tracks and trampolines brought by the wind from households.
The map, compiled according to radar observations, clearly shows how powerful clouds cover the sky over the Baltic and eastern Europe. And, look, they have already reached the west and northwest of Russia.
Under their influence, precipitation will cover almost the entire Russian Plain, with the exception of the Trans-Volga and Cis-Urals. But, if the center of the country gets no more than 10 mm of moisture, then at the western borders of the country this amount will be twice as much. And in the south of the Baltic Sea, in some places, by the end of the day, up to 20 mm, or almost half of the monthly norm, can fall.
In addition to precipitation, the strongest wind will also be observed here – with gusts of over 25 m/s. However, in the whole west of Russia today it will be windy – 15-20 m/s.
And in Kaliningrad, bad weather will rage until the end of the day. Despite the high temperature – about +8 degrees, a ten-day amount of moisture can pour out onto the city, and the southwest wind will accelerate to 26 m/s. Tomorrow it will rain less, and the wind will weaken, but will increase again at the weekend.
It is cloudy in Moscow, but there is no precipitation yet. In the capital, the weather will deteriorate in the evening, when precipitation begins in the form of sleet, turning into rain. And the wind in gusts will get stronger up to 17 m/s. At the same time, the temperature will rise to +3 degrees. Atmospheric pressure will drop rapidly and drop to 725 mm Hg. Art. This is more than 20 units below the norm.
