Russia’s Unseasonable Warmth Set to Ease Midweek With NW Storms and First Wet Snow

Forecasters flag a pattern shift driven by Atlantic cyclones, with hazards from strong winds to wet snow.

Overview

  • Moscow stays mostly snow‑free through the workweek with local drizzle and highs around 6°C on Monday, and forecasters say Friday could be the warmest day near 9°C. St. Petersburg’s chief forecaster expects the season’s first wet snow on November 14–15 after a record‑warm first November decade.
  • Regional services in the North‑West warn of strong winds and snow, with gusts up to about 21–22 m/s in parts of Komi and Murmansk and periods of blizzards and ice hazards.
  • Volga regions remain several degrees above normal with frequent rain, though midweek cooling brings overnight frosts, wet snow and black ice risks in places such as Tatarstan, Udmurtia and Chuvashia.
  • Buryatia reports difficult driving on icy roads after heavy snow, with rising accident numbers and round‑the‑clock clearing using more than 100 road machines.
