Russia's East Faces Early-November Freeze and Storms as Moscow Stays Mild

Official forecasts juxtapose hazardous cold across Siberia, the Far East, the Urals with a modest positive November anomaly for Moscow.

Overview

  • The Hydrometcenter expects a sharp cooling in the first ten days of November that shifts the Urals, Siberia and the Far East into a winter weather pattern.
  • Lead forecaster Roman Vilfand reports severe lows in the northeast, including about −35 to −36°C in northern Yakutia, −32 to −34°C on Chukotka, and −27 to −29°C in Magadan Region and northern Kamchatka.
  • Regional services in the Urals warn of snow and wet snow, icy roads, fog and gusts reaching 16–17 m/s in places, with night temperatures set to fall further through the coming week.
  • Short‑range guidance flags heavy rain and snow, icing and very strong winds in Siberia and the Far East, with gusts up to 35 m/s in the Altai highlands and along the Okhotsk Sea coast, as some Siberian areas drop 7–10°C at the start of the month.
  • Moscow is forecast to run about +1.5°C warmer than average for November, and forecasters say the mean daily temperature may not slip below zero until late in the month.
