Severe Weather Warnings Across Europe and Russia
As the holiday season approaches, severe weather conditions are being reported across various regions in Europe and Russia. In Baden-Württemberg, Germany, meteorologist Dominik Jung has warned of fluctuating temperatures, storms, and lightning snow, creating a turbulent weather pattern just before Christmas. Forecasts indicate a dramatic drop in temperatures from a mild 15 degrees Celsius to as low as 4 degrees within a day, alongside strong winds that could reach up to 100 kilometers per hour. Snow is expected to fall even at low altitudes, particularly on Christmas Eve, but will likely be followed by a 'Christmas thaw' with temperatures rising to 7-10 degrees Celsius on December 26.
In contrast, Russia is bracing for a severe cold snap, particularly in the Northwestern and Central Federal Districts. According to Roman Vilfand from the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, temperatures are expected to plummet to below -30 degrees Celsius in some regions, with significant anomalies reported. The Arkhangelsk Region could see temperatures 6-12 degrees below normal, while the Komi Republic may experience lows of -33 degrees Celsius. Moscow is also anticipating strong winds that will exacerbate the cold, with temperatures dropping to -19 degrees Celsius.
Bad Weather Conditions in Italy
Italy is not exempt from the severe weather, as a phase of bad weather is set to impact the entire country. Meteorologist Mattia Gussoni has indicated that starting December 19, strong winds and snow will dominate the weather forecast. The North will experience widespread rain and fog, while the South will face storm surges and blizzard conditions, particularly in the Apennines. By December 20, winds are expected to exceed 100 kilometers per hour, causing rough seas and significant snowfall in mountainous areas.
Summary of Weather Forecasts
Overall, the weather across Europe and Russia is characterized by extreme fluctuations, with Baden-Württemberg experiencing a mix of storms and snow, while Russia faces an unprecedented cold snap. Italy is preparing for heavy winds and snow, particularly in the northern and central regions.
