Russia’s Late-October Weather Splits: Southern Cyclone, Frosty Northwest, Siberian Swings

Forecasters highlight rain, fog, icy roads and mountain snow as services activate heating and winter road work.

Overview

  • Moscow enters an unsettled, showery week with daytime highs around 4–7°C and a late-week rise toward 6–9°C, according to Phobos specialists.
  • Siberia turns mostly dry with mild days near 5–11°C and sharp night drops to about −18°C in spots, with hazards including icy roads, mountain avalanche risk and stormy winds on southern Taymyr.
  • A southern cyclone brings widespread rain and fog with 16–24 mm expected in parts, localized wet snow in the Krasnodar mountains, and night frosts down to −4°C in northern Rostov.
  • Northwest Russia stays largely sunny and dry under an anticyclone with night freezes, while the Far North sees winter conditions with wind, snow and blizzards; midweek warmth and rain edge in later for some areas.
  • Volga-region forecasts call for temperatures near or above normal with periodic rain, brief midweek warmth in places such as Perm and Samara, and ongoing heating startups and road-readiness measures across cities.
