A unique coincidence of this year’s weather profile with that of last year was registered in the European part of Russia this May. Last year, alike this year, there was a warm summer weather through April, but in late April a drastic change to cold happened. Time coincidence of the weather recurrence is unparalleled indeed.

Many specialists are inclined to consider that the last decade was a transition to the global climate change while this and previous years are characterized by some stabilization of the new weather profile.

The climate in the European part of Russia is expected to stabilize to remind the last year’s. There will be a summer fever and drought with occasional tropical thunderstorms and local hurricanes during the major part of April and from the 20^th of May to early August. From August to November, there will be the season of rains (with a warm sunny days in-between) within which a summer smoothly turns to a fall. A winter is expected mild and gloomy. Extreme colds might appear no more than 2-3 times a winter and last only a few days. So, out of the traditional spring we got used to the span from the 20^th of February to March and periods of the May colds & light frosts (the first three weeks in May) are only remained.

If the forecasts of the new climate profile are right, then watermelons and peaches might be raised in the Yaroslavskaya oblast (region) in the nearest future. But this will require to permanently fight with a dry weather which may annually result in low grain crops and fires in the forests.
