Rains are coming to the Astrakhan steppes

Starting from tomorrow, the Astrakhan Region will get wet under the autumn rains and Astrakhan will be hidden under the snow in winter 2015-2016.

The local weather forecasters predict that the coming winter will be the snowiest one in the past decade in Russia. Moreover, abnormal frosts and tons of snow showers will strike the Astrakhan region, where the city utility services have already started to get ready for upcoming tests of strength. A total of 90 snowplows will fight the snow in the streets of Astrakhan, including 8 units acquired by the Region this year. Pavements will be processed with 2000 tons of sand and 600 tons of technical salt.

A huge cyclone will cover our area tomorrow, and that will bring drizzling, boring and long-lasting autumn rains. From Wednesday to Saturday, and according to some reports – including this week-end - the regional center sky will be cloudy and it may be raining lightly. But if Astrakhan may be calm for the daytime air temperatures, reaching up to 8-11 degrees Centigrade, the wind speeds are the basis for some worries because, according to the local Weather Forecast Center, gusts up to 8-13 meters per second (mps) are expected during tomorrow, and tomorrow morning they may attain speeds equal to 18 mps. Therefore some advertising structures may accidentally fall over somebody’s sinful head.

Be careful, girls and boys!
