Will there be snow for New Years and Christmas?
Journalist Andrey Blinov tells in detail how anticyclones will affect the weather in Ukraine on the New Year holidays. He also found out if snow is expected in the country on New Years and Christmas.
“Finally, we can say something substantive about New Year’s weather 2021.
The Arctic anticyclone, which has made its way to the steppes of northern Kazakhstan, provides a slow transfer of cold masses to the territory of Eastern Europe. It will not take its -20 ℃ far, but it is able to provide in the next days from December 22 to 23 moderate frosts throughout the territory of Southeast Europe (North Caucasus, Volga region, most of Ukraine). The displacement of a warmer mass over the territory of Ukraine will lead to brief snowfalls.
Will this snow last until the new year? No. It will hardly even go until Catholic Christmas, as this high pressure zone will weaken, allowing for some time the transfer of masses from the south, from the peninsula of Asia Minor. This is where Turkey is. Also, while transiting the Black Sea without cooling, the air will become warm. As a result, on December 25 in the coastal regions of Ukraine there will be spring + 10 ℃, and in Kiev at least + 5 ℃. The snow cover will seep and recede (except for mountain ranges) to the northeast to the Volgodonsk – Kharkov – Sumy – Chernigov – Baranovichi – Grodno line.
It seems that it is the destination to celebrate the New Year in Kiev again with autumn jackets and without gloves. However, the Siberian anticyclone will be against it. The one meteorologists call the Asian High. It is gelatin from Siberia, it is the anticyclone of Mongolia. This is a seasonal phenomenon of a powerful and stable area of high pressure over Siberia, which forms in the middle of winter in a continental climate. Many temperature anomalies depend on its behavior. When their spurs made their way to Europe, the Christmas and Epiphany frosts sounded below -30. This year Siberia sends greetings to the Celestial Empire: on the night of January 1, thermometers in Beijing will show around -20 ℃.
Yes, the main forces of the Siberian giant will go to the southeast of the Asian continent. However, its temperature spurs will still reach north of Kazakhstan, from where a powerful west wind will blow. And how not to blow if the pressure in the superanticyclone is expected to be at the level of 1060-1070 hectopascals (which you are used to calculating in mm of mercury, this is about 790-800 mm at a standard level at sea level of 760 mm). The eastern transfer will get very cold on its way, pumping freezing temperatures to Europe starting December 28. And again, a collision with warmer air masses may give birth to the very New Year’s snow.
It won’t be ubiquitous, so let’s say it snows where it’s most desired. After all, on New Year’s Eve, whatever you don’t want will always happen, it will always come true, right?
The east wind, judging by the analysis of the weather maps, will dominate until Orthodox Christmas. And this does not exclude a significant cooling in the first days of the new 2021.
In any case, this year a meteorological winter has already passed in Ukraine, which the last Eurozim did not bring for the first time during the observation period (there were not even 5 days in a row with negative temperatures). And it will continue, “Blinov wrote, attaching maps of the cyclone’s movement over Ukraine.
