Hot APR

Usually in April in Omsk parks is just beginning to melt the snow. And in tornik early in the morning in the city was plus 25 degrees Celsius.

In the coming days, the same temperature is expected in Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Kemerovo regions. And just hotter, according to forecasts of weather forecasters, will be in the Altai region, where on April 23-24, is expected to more than 30 degrees Celsius.

a Powerful release of heat over Western Siberia is explained by the intersection of two cyclones. The flows of air masses are warm winds from China and Central Asia.

– We are in the warmest part of the anticyclone, the prevailing southwesterly air flow, which brought us the anomalous heat. It is possible that the temperature will break all records and will be closed historic high, – told “RG” the head of the fgbi “the Ob-Irtysh Department of Hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring” Natalia Kryvoruchko.

because Of the heat and calm in Siberia observed adverse meteorological conditions for dispersion of harmful impurities in the atmospheric air. Novosibirsk weather forecasters have declared a dusty sky. Over the metropolis hangs a gray haze. In the three cities of Kuzbas – Kemerovo, Prokopyevsk and Novokuznetsk – introduced a black sky. Local businesses are strongly recommended to reduce emissions.

In this weather is especially hard on the citizens in the regime of self-isolation in their homes. Hot and stuffy. In social networks, the Siberians write about what they are forced to sleep with open Windows and hang wet blankets hot battery. In some regions, the utility took the decision on early completion of the heating season. In Omsk the apartment houses yesterday have already started to turn down the heating.

In the mayor’s office of Novosibirsk said that, despite the complaints of the townspeople, the heating season will not end before mid-may. Early summer is deceptive, and in a few weeks, maybe the cold snap. So while Novosibirsk CHP plants operate at minimum heat settings.

heat waves in April, may lead to another serious problem – the massive forest fires. All Siberian regions with a special fire-prevention mode. Residents are not allowed to go to the woods, to plant fires and to burn garbage. Control over remote arrays include satellite observation, which instantly calculates the thermal level. However, to deal with the notorious “human factor” is not easy. The prohibitions are violated everywhere.

In the Novosibirsk region the total area of fires has already exceeded 250 thousand hectares. On the territory of Tomsk region over the weekend were more than 50 thermal spots, caused by the burning of dry grass. And in the Omsk region in the village of Osipovka for the burning of grass burned seven homes – three residential and four abandoned. Carried��only families remained without a roof over his head.
