Even the South comes winter. She may not be as harsh, but by the looks of it, it is expected to be colder than usual this time around. Now in Krasnodar during the day there are still 10-15 degrees, but this is 4-6 degrees below the usual norm, and everything suggests that things are heading towards a cold snap ...

This was discussed at the last meeting of the Commission for Emergency Situations. The head of the Krasnodar Regional Center for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring presented the forecast there. Andrey Bondar, promising that the current weather will continue until the end of the month. Subzero temperatures are expected in winter. Up to minus three in December, and up to minus five in January.

Such messages can bring a smile to Siberians or the Far East, and the inhabitants of the middle zone of the country do not particularly indulge in high degrees, and for the southern regions, these are already abnormal crackling frosts. And, apparently, the winter of 2017 will be really colder than always in the whole country and Europe.

As for the Kuban, according to Bondar, such low temperatures have not been observed in the Krasnodar Territory for the last six years. Are the Kuban public utilities ready for such a turn of events?

We already now, when it is only October, we write that in the southern cities - Volgograd, Krasnodar Territory, our valiant utilities have managed to freeze people. And winter is still far away, there was no real cold weather.

Nevertheless, in one of Krasnodar's microdistricts - Zhukovsky, fourteen apartment buildings were left without heat until the last moment. Heat was given there only after the governor personally intervened Veniamin Kondratyev... The head of the region did not accept the explanation that the owner had changed in the boiler house, and therefore did not have time to start it up in time, saying that the legal aspects of people should not concern people.

And, of course, the question immediately arises, if in October boiler houses do not start on time and heat-loving Krasnodar residents do not feel very comfortable in their own apartments, then what will happen in December-January, which promise to be colder than usual?

We can recall the Krasnodar floods this summer, in one of which a 17-year-old boy even died. And we wrote about it. Then, too, all responsible persons reported that they had not seen such showers for the last 50 years, so they could not cope with the elements in time. That is, will they again blame all emergency situations on natural anomalies?

Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Krasnodar Territory Ivan Kolontai stated that his service is ready for any turn of events. For a prompt response in any emergency situation, 2,300 employees of the department and 353 units of equipment will be involved. Four mobile heating stations are ready for operation with the ability to move out to places of traffic congestion.

In addition, according to the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, special observation posts will be created at the annual places of mass access to the ice by employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. There have already been identified 33 congestion-prone and 10 sections with prolonged descents and ascents on the federal highways of the region. The most dangerous areas are assigned to fire and rescue units. That is, people on the roads will definitely not freeze.

Minister of Transport and Roads of the Territory Anatoly Voronovsky also encouraged. They say that 905 units of equipment are ready to service roads in winter. So any heavy snowfall will be greeted fully armed.

As the vice-governor said Andrey Alekseenko who held the emergency meeting, people should feel safe. Each of the officials should be personally responsible for this in terms of their powers.

By the way, about personal responsibility. The governor of the region, Veniamin Kondratyev, has already warned that all deputy heads for housing and communal services, where they did not receive heat on time, will be fired.

Kondratyev was outraged that, as always, all services provided reports on 100% readiness for winter and the beginning of the heating season, but in reality everything turned out quite differently.

For example, in Goryachy Klyuch boiler houses, including those providing heat for the children's clinic, were launched late. The village of Chernomorsky, Seversky District, remained without heat; we spoke about the microdistrict in Krasnodar itself at the very beginning.

Veniamin Kondratyev stressed that no one has the right to bring the situation to the boiling point and solve systemic problems in an emergency mode.

With all this, as always, the most important problem and the main reason for the most emergency situations, utilities call huge debts of heat supply organizations. In Kuban, the amount of debt today is 2.5 billion rubles.

At the same time, 800 million rubles are debts of heat supply enterprises of the Leningrad, Crimean, Kushchevsky, Slavyansky, Temryuk, Seversky and Uspensky districts. That is, a good part of the Kuban may be left without heating at all.

And as the authorities of the Krasnodar Territory note, the leadership of the municipalities does not remember their debts until the first frost. So, according to the vice-governor Andrey Alekseenko, it happened in the Kushchevsky district, where the debt has accumulated in 50 million rubles and which is now being explained by the difficulties with the beginning of the heating season.

Veniamin Kondratyev demanded to name the perpetrators of the situations by surname and to deal with each individual case.

- The heads of the field have a huge range of tasks, but there are deputies. And if deputies only provide such reports, they need to be removed. Such employees undermine the trust of the inhabitants of the region to the authorities out of the blue. There should be personnel decisions: deputy heads for housing and communal services in municipalities where they did not receive heat should be dismissed from their posts within 24 hours, - said the head of the region.

Kondratyev also suggested creating an interdepartmental commission, with the participation of representatives of law enforcement agencies, the prosecutor's office, in order to systematically work with debtors.

Time will tell whether all these measures will help the Kuban people to spend the winter more or less comfortably. In the meantime, we will monitor the situation, and also the degrees on the street thermometer. The lower the degree outside the window, the higher the boiling point of those who will freeze in their own apartments. This is what the authorities at all levels should think about first of all, including the deputies who have not been dismissed yet.

In anticipation of the coming winter, climatologists from all countries are trying to predict what the cold period will be for different countries. Russia is a huge country, the expanses of which are spread out in different climatic zones and time zones, and for each region there is its own personal forecast, taking into account the geographical position and climatic features.

In this article, we will talk about what the upcoming winter 2017-2018 will be for residents of the North Caucasus and when you can expect a cold snap, the first snow and spring thaws in the Kuban. To lift the veil of mystery, we learned:

Kuban is a region located in the southwest of the North Caucasus on both sides of the river of the same name. The second name of the Kuban is the Krasnodar Territory.

The landscape of the southern part of the region is formed by the systems of the Caucasian mountains and a narrow strip of the coast of the Black and Azov Seas, in the northern - the Kuban lowland. Naturally, the climate in these zones is fundamentally different.

A moderate continental climate prevails in the plains, and a subtropical one on the Black Sea coast.

Cities and villages located in the Kuban lowland zone often suffer from dry winds, since the mountain range does not allow air masses that form over the seas to pass into the center of the mainland. The average winter temperature here ranges from -3 to -5 ºС.

In the mountainous regions in winter there is a lot of snow and for several months there is a stable snow cover, which annually attracts many connoisseurs of skiing and simply high-quality winter recreation to the slopes.

Temperatures in coastal areas rarely drop below zero. Although, in cities such as Gelendzhik or Anapa in cold months, the weather is not very comfortable. In the south of the Kuban, cold and gusty winds often blow, called "bora", occasionally reaching 40 m / s and more.

Forecasts for different regions of the Kuban

Meteorological scientists are engaged in weather prediction. By analyzing weather conditions and climate features, as well as taking into account the changes taking place in connection with global climatic anomalies, they can make a forward-looking forecast for the coming winter and tell what to expect for the residents of the Krasnodar Territory and what the weather will be like in the Kuban at the beginning and at the end of 2017 and early 2018.

Many forecasts made by different experts for the European part of the Russian Federation. They promise a harsh and long winter. Some climatologists even claim that the upcoming season will break records of the past 100 years in negative indicators.

Whether such assumptions will be confirmed, it will be possible to say very soon, because there are only a few weeks left before the calendar winter.

Forecast for winter 2017-2018 for the coastal zone

The shores of the Black and Azov Seas are a great place for recreation all year round. Unlike the frosty winters in other regions of the Russian Federation, there is a comfortable above zero temperature.

Coastal Weather for December 2017

The arrival of the calendar winter in the southern cities of Krasnodar will make itself felt by a decrease in temperature at night to 2 ºС and rains, which will turn into sleet by the end of the month.

Weather for January 2018 for Black Sea region

The new calendar year will bring with it a significant drop in temperature to -5 ºC at night. Although, the cold snap will be short and warm weather will set in by the end of the first week of January. The second half of the month will be damp. Cloudy weather will be established, and rain will be replaced by sleet.

Weather in the south of the Kuban in February 2018

Most of the month will be dry and warm. Only in the last days of the week, wet snow and a sharp drop in temperature to -6 (and on the 28th to -8 ºС) are possible.

Forecast for the winter 2017-2018 for the flat region of the Kuban

The Kuban lowland is characterized by:

  • sudden changes in temperature;
  • dry weather with minimal rainfall;
  • dry winds.

December weather in the flat part of the Kuban

The beginning of winter will be quite mild, with comfortable daytime temperatures in the region of + 13 ... + 15 ºС. But already from the second week the picture will change dramatically and the thermometer columns will drop below zero (to a maximum of -4 ºС during the day and -9 ºС at night).

January in the Kubanskaya lowland of the Krasnodar Territory

The first half of the month will be dry and relatively warm. Daytime plus will be replaced by small night frosts. Serious minus and snow can be expected only in the second half of January. The frosts reached their maximum in the last week, making a sharp turn from -5 to +9 ºС on the last day of January.

February in the northern part of the Kuban

A harsh winter is not about the Kuban! Even February 2018 will bring mild and warm weather. When the northern regions of the country adapt to 50-degree frosts, the residents of the Kuban will be able to enjoy the mild winter sun.

But, towards the end of the month, winter will remind you that February is outside the windows. The sky will be covered with clouds, the temperature will drop to -10 ºС. Snow is possible.

Spring will come to the south of the Kuban at the end of March, and in the flat part of the region - closer to mid-April.

The closer the cold season, the more often we ask ourselves the question - what to expect from the coming winter? Morozov? Strong blizzards and blizzards? Or vice versa - soft snow and warmth? About what will be the winter 2016-2017 in Krasnodar - in our today's article.

Overall forecast

Krasnodar is a unique city in terms of weather. Located in the zone of temperate continental climate, it is known for its mild, literally cozy winters, when mostly warm weather reigns, occasionally diluted with small - up to minus five degrees Celsius - frosts. And the coming winter 2016-2017 will be no exception. According to forecasts of weather forecasters, December and January will be practically snowless; confident above zero temperature during the day will be replaced by a slight cold snap at night. However, the main scourge of the coming winter is the wind. Cold, sometimes piercing, it can spoil the impression even of such a warm winter as Krasnodar. Another attack that the wind brings is ice. A thin ice crust, which, it would seem, should melt at above-zero temperatures, thanks to the wind, will keep on the Krasnodar asphalt for quite a long time. But everything ends someday - and winter in Krasnodar will end in mid-February; the last winter month will give the inhabitants of the region real spring warmth and sunshine.

Weather forecast for December

Based on the average statistical data over the past eight years, forecasters of the meteorological center presented their weather forecast in Krasnodar for December 2016. Of course, the real weather may differ from the average forecast, but it is quite possible to get an idea of ​​what the first winter month in Krasnodar will be.

So, winter in the Krasnodar Territory will begin softly and imperceptibly - the first days of the calendar December will practically not differ from the November weather. All the same above-zero temperature - from 8 to 10C in the daytime, at night - up to +5, all the same slight wind, all the same mostly clear sky. However, the second decade will bring significant changes. First, the temperature will drop to + 4C; such a sharp change in climate is due to the arrival of a cold front from the central regions. This air mass will bring Krasnodar residents not only a cold snap, but also rain. After dragging on for a week or more, the autumn rain can turn into snow in some places - the thermometer in the second half of December will drop to minus 2-3C. By the end of the month, the daytime temperature will rise slightly - up to + 6C, but at night it will be just as cold - around zero.

Weather forecast for January

The New Year will give Krasnodar residents a small snowball, which, however, may well melt by the middle of the month. The warm beginning of January is not uncommon for Krasnodar, but the winds that forecasters promise during this period will not please the fans of long walks in the fresh air.

The end of the long New Year's holidays and the inevitable return to work will coincide with a slight increase in daytime temperatures. The thermometer, according to the promise of forecasters, can rise to + 6C, but at night it will still freeze - up to -2-3C. The third decade of January will bring a sharp - for such a warm region, of course - a cold snap, strong winds and snowfalls. Frost is possible on the roads, sometimes small drifts. The average daily temperature in the last days of January will drop to zero, in some places to minus 5-7C, at night minus 4C, in some places - to minus 7C.

Weather forecast for February

The first days of February will be unusually cold for Krasnodar - subzero temperatures will remain not only at night, but also during the day. A strong piercing wind will not add comfort. However, by the end of the first decade, the situation will change - the thermometer will again turn into the “red”, plus zone during the day, and will not drop below minus 2-3C at night. And even the wind will be beneficial, bringing, finally, clouds with rain, and hence warming in the second decade. During the day, forecasters promise up to + 8C, at night around zero or slightly lower. Well, the third decade of February already brings real spring - the last days of winter indulge Krasnodar residents with confident warmth and freezing temperatures not only during the day, but also at night.

Outcomes

When studying weather forecasts for the coming winter, remember that the weather is changeable, and even the most accurate and detailed forecast can turn out to be wrong. Meteorologists base their conclusions about the coming winter on long-term observations of the weather, but some unexpected factor can always interfere with their calculations, confusing all conclusions. And so remember - there are no perfect weather forecasts for the whole winter.

Among all the immense latitudes of our native Russia, the Krasnodar Territory seems to be the place in which there is no winter. But this opinion is deeply mistaken. This area of ​​Russia has quite large open spaces, each of which has its own landscape. Winter in the Krasnodar Territory also takes place, the only thing is that it differs slightly in its temperature regimes from other Russian regions.

Many tourists prefer to celebrate New Year's celebrations in the cities of the hot sun, so the problem becomes urgent, what will be the winter of 2017-2018 in the Krasnodar Territory?

The entire Krasnodar Territory is divided into two unequal territories belonging to the northern and southern latitudes. The southern part has a longer duration and greater volume; it extends over almost the entire territory belonging to the Black Sea. The northern latitude is equipped with mountains and plains, it is not as great as the first, but the winter period is much cooler here, and the land is covered with an abundant layer of snow. From all of the above, we can make the correct conclusion that in the two indicated parts of the Krasnodar Territory, winters are completely different in their temperature regimes.

The weather in the winter of 2017-2018 in the Krasnodar Territory will not differ much from all previous periods of the same time. At the moment, it will not be possible to make the most accurate forecasts, more reliable data can be found in late autumn. But some preliminary forecasts as to what will be the winter of 2017-2018 in the Krasnodar Territory, according to forecasts of weather forecasters, can be expressed.

Winter in the Krasnodar Territory

The territorial part of this region of our Russia belongs to the temperate continental climate. During the entire duration of the winter period, strong winds are observed on the plains, which bring unpleasant sensations to people. In addition, at the time of low temperature conditions, icing of the surface layer of the earth occurs here. In connection with such circumstances, winter in the Krasnodar Territory seems to many to be unfriendly and evil.

As for the temperature regimes, the weather forecast for the winter of 2017-2018 in the Krasnodar Territory differs significantly depending on the location of the region of this southern region. For example, in the northern part of the territory there is a colder temperature than in the southern towns. The difference can be up to 10 degrees. The southern part of the Krasnodar Territory is more temperate, it is almost impossible to see snow-covered snowdrifts and frosty nights here, which cannot be said about the northern latitudes. The same applies to the winds, in the south they dominate less than in the other part of the Krasnodar Territory.

What will the winter 2017-2018 be like in Krasnodar?

  • December... The very first period of winter time in Krasnodar practically does not look like a frosty moment. The average air temperature these days does not rise above minus 6 degrees. At the beginning of the month, the weather can do wonders and surprise the population with temperature regimes of 0 degrees. All this applies to southern latitudes. In the north of Krasnodar, there is a great coolness. On some days, the air temperature can drop to minus 10 degrees. The first days of December, as a rule, do not become frosty, but this period differs more than another in windiness. The Black Sea coast can be proud of such temperature regimes in December as 0 degrees. In the middle and towards the end of December, the weather becomes cooler, and the air environment freezes down to minus 6 degrees. As for precipitation, they are practically absent here. Of course, from time to time you can observe snowfalls and rains, but most often these two types of precipitation mix, and the population observes hail on the territory of coastal areas. Such a weather environment does not have a very favorable effect on human health; unfavorable and changeable temperature regimes have a negative effect on the entire respiratory system.
  • January... The middle of the winter period in Krasnodar also becomes cooler and more stable. In the region of the mountains, temperature regimes stop at minus 15 degrees, more gentle and pleasant weather can be observed near the sea. Here the thermometer stays at minus 5 degrees. If we take the average statistical data, then forecasters point to the air temperature in January at minus 10 degrees. This weather is favorable for celebrating the New Year, so many tourists prefer to leave the snow-covered cities for Krasnodar and enjoy the comfort of a warm winter. In January, only snow is observed among the precipitation; rain at the indicated time is already unlikely. At some moments, hail may fall out, which is capable of surprising with its large size. The winds at this time subside a little, but this statement does not apply to the northern and mountainous latitudes. In these areas, strong and cold winds are still in complete control.
  • The final period of winter time is also stable and moderate. V february moderately frosty winter continues to reign, but nature is already beginning to slowly prepare for the arrival of spring. WITH The average mark of the thermometer in February stops within minus 5 degrees, while the weather can surprise the population of Krasnodar with various surprises. Today, the temperature of the air and the environment can stop at zero mode, and tomorrow in nature there can be frosts down to minus 7 degrees. Nevertheless, in February, the bright sun is already awakening, which contributes to the melting of snows. Of course, there are no heavy snowfalls in Krasnodar, but there are still small snow covers. Many residents of other cities call Krasnodar February already a spring month, and this is correct, because now nature is beginning an active struggle between winter and spring warmth. At the same time, the green and beautiful spring always wins.

An amazing and delightful sight can be observed in the Krasnodar Territory only in winter - this is the color scheme of the Black Sea. The shade of the water at this time of the year fluctuates as much as possible in color variations from turquoise to dark blue, which undoubtedly attracts the eyes of local residents, as well as numerous tourists.

WILL THERE BE SNOW IN KRASNODAR, WHY IS IT WARMTH IN KUBAN AND IS THIS WINTER NEEDED? Two different winters. The difference between these two photographs is 41 years. The first was made in 1976 at the Aurora cinema. The second - today, December 19, 2017, in the same place. We dedicate this publication of the Then and Now column not to an architectural monument, but to the season. We talked about the winters of the past and present with the head of the Krasnodar hydrometeorological center, Andrey Bondar. “In 50 years we will be nostalgic for the warm winter” According to the chief meteorologist in the Kuban, “such” winters as in the photograph of 1974 have not gone anywhere and, on the contrary, may return to the Kuban in the next few years. - In general, the last decade on the planet has been abnormally warm. There were no snowy winters, including in the Kuban. But there is a different frequency of activity of the sun. And our sun is the main supplier of energy to the planet. According to some scientists, it is this influence of solar activity, a regular change, long-term. According to some scientists, the warm period is just ending and we are beginning to enter the period of the next "glaciation". And in 50 years we will again complain about where these warm winters are, - Andrey Bondar tells Bloknote Krasnodar. The weather in Krasnodar, and in the Kuban as a whole, did not become "clearly warmer." Over the past 10 years, the air temperature in winter has repeatedly reached 25 degrees below zero. Sufficient snow periods were also recorded when Krasnodar residents could observe snow for a month and a half. In addition, in December 2016, during this period of time, "snow fell well." Should we expect snow in Krasnodar this year? The probability that it will snow in Krasnodar this year is as much as 25%. And it will not be snowfall, but rather rain and snow, the so-called "drizzling snow" and "fog". Ice deposits are also likely. - The probability of snowfall will exist in two days. The only thing is that we don't expect deep snow. Maybe "wet snow" in Krasnodar will pass. A stable snow cover for 3-5 days will be established in the north of the region. In the mountainous part, it has been snowing for a month already, - says Andrey Nikolaevich. Do people in Krasnodar want winter? The slushy December of the outgoing year is called "* ovnopogoda" in Krasnodar. Those who have recently moved to the southern capital, more often admire the mild climate and warmth, similar to spring. With all this, both of them are nostalgic for memories from childhood: full boots of snow from rolling down slides, black eyes after playing snowballs, sore throat after licking icicles. But do the residents of the city of Krasnodar want frost and a real snowy winter? Not just an argument, but a verbal fight broke out after the publication of this 1976 photo in one of the groups on social networks. "For" those who are hungry for real winter and do not want to pick up ARVI, which spread well in the "plus outside the window", are in favor. Those who know are categorically against; utilities are sometimes helpless before a snowfall. “I am a native of Krasnodar, my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and beyond, all were local, Krasnodar-Ekaterinodar ... and I can say with certainty that this is" * ovnopogoda. " Even in the late 80s - early 90s I remember such good snow, frost, slides, sledges, and it hurt less ... In summer it should be hot, autumn is deciduous and rainy, winter is crisp and cold, and spring ... spring ... in Krasnodar it is always 5 +++ ... But if you are a local, you should know the cause of climate change, right from 1975 ... all production needed to get better, and every year the temperature rises by half a degree ... this is already statistics , there is less and less snow cover ... and there is nothing good about it, ”said Elena, a resident of Krasnodar. “I’m local too, but I don’t really want snow. These are unnecessary problems. There are even more traffic jams in the city, at bus stops people are frostbitten, tk. public transport is stuck or broken, but here winter always comes unexpectedly for utilities. And you whine like a little child who wants snow. Go to the mountains and roll over there in plenty of snow, if you really want snow and frost, ”writes Vitaly. What kind of weather do our readers prefer in winter? We propose to answer this question. Read about it and not only on the "Notebook Krasnodar" website:
