Moscow Set for Mild November as Siberia and Far East Face Gales, Snow and Ice

An Arctic cold pulse from active cyclones is triggering dangerous conditions in the east.

Overview

  • Nine long‑range models point to about a +1.5°C temperature anomaly in Moscow for November, according to city meteorologist Tatyana Pozdnyakova.
  • Pozdnyakova said Moscow’s mean daily temperature may not dip below zero until late in the month or the start of its final ten days.
  • Hydrometcenter chief Roman Vilfand warned that 1–2 November will bring heavy rain and snow, icing, and winds up to 35 m/s across parts of Siberia and the Far East with a 7–10°C temperature drop.
  • Forecasters highlight local extremes: the Altai highlands could see gusts near 35 m/s, Sakhalin expects heavy snow with 22–25 m/s winds, the Kurils heavy rain with similar gusts, and southern Kamchatka/coasts up to 35 m/s after the cyclone shifts north.
  • Regional bulletins extend risks westward as the Urals face snow, wet snow, ice and gusts near 16 m/s, while Northwest regions prepare for night frosts around −2°C with mostly dry conditions.
