THE MAIN WEATHER AND CLIMATE FEATURES OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE IN NOVEMBER 2018
Air Temperature.
In the beginning of November, the unusually warm weather was kept in the north-west of Russia. The new air temperature maximums were registered from Murmansk to Kaliningrad. The warmth anomalies of the first decade have set here +2…5°. But then the cold came and although in the Russian North along the Barents sea in the second decade the warm weather dominated, in the other part of the European Russia the average monthly air temperature anomalies became negative. In the third decade everywhere, from Barents to Black sea it was noticeably colder than usual. The average monthly air temperature over the decade is below the norm by 3-6°. As a result, the air temperature in the Central, South federal district and in the south of the Volga district per month became below the norm by 1-3°, it is not seldom phenomenon. Over the 18 years of XXI century, the same and colder November was repeated here for the 4th time, the last one – in the year before.
THE MAIN WEATHER AND CLIMATE FEATURES OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE IN OCTOBER 2018
Air Temperature.
The last October was exceptionally favourable for the Russia’s inhabitants regarding the temperature comfort. “Indian summer” dominated the most part of the month. In the beginning of the first decade in the European territory in some places the light frosts were noted, in the other decades the exceptionally warm weather was everywhere, which was very rare for this time of the year. The information on the new temperature maximums came from everywhere, they were registering during the several days successively and repeatedly. In the ETR, this was happened in the second decade, beyond the Urals – during all month.
And as a result, this wonderful month became the warmest in Russia on the record, i.e. since 1891. The previous record of the maximum average October air temperature, registered almost 50 years ago, was overcame by 0.5°. Absolute maximum of the October average air temperature was reached in Siberia and Far East. Here the largest average temperature anomalies were registered - +4…9°. In any point of the country, the average monthly air temperature appeared above the norm.
In the most part of China, the average monthly temperature conditions corresponded to the norm. Here are the areas, where it was noticeably colder than usual (south and west of the country), but in some areas it was noticeably warmer than usual (eastern provinces Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui). Air temperature in Mongolia and Japan is above the norm (in some places by 2-3° and more) and below the norm – in Korea.
Slightly higher the norm the average monthly air temperature in the South-East Asia and India. In the Middle East, this superiority of the warmth is more obvious. Here are the areas (in Iran, Arabia, Jordan, Israel, east of Turkey and Transcaucasia), where the average monthly air temperature anomalies reached +2…3°.
