“Extensive cyclonic depression that stretches over the Balkans and Western black sea, in the next two days will gain power due to the humid and warm sea air. Formed in a compact and very active atmospheric vortex, “the Balkan” on Friday attacking Central Russia. As a result, the Moscow, Tula, Kaluga and Yaroslavl region will fall a tremendous amount of heavenly moisture – a day in the gauges will fall almost monthly norm of precipitation. For example, to Moscow in the most pessimistic model calculations can shed up to 42 to 47 mm of rain, which is four buckets of water per square meter”, – said Tiscover RIA “Novosti”.
He added that we can expect the daily record precipitation in may, which now belongs to 1976, when 24 hours in Moscow fell to 39 millimeters.
“besides, Sunday is projected to be another piece of fairly intense showers. Thus, until the end of the week a total of expected as much rain as fell during the previous 25 days, which is more than 60 mm, and therefore, may, apparently, will be moistened by 2.5 times more than they should according to the climate norm,” said Tiscover.
