Arctic cold hit the Russian Plain in May
Snowfalls will continue to break deep into the Russian Plain. Before this, winter had already reminded the northerners of itself: in Arkhangelsk on Thursday, May 2, a real May snowstorm raged. The same fate befell the residents of Syktyvkar. On May 5, a partly cloudy Scandinavian anticyclone and a stormy North Atlantic cyclone collided over the Russian Plain. Along the dividing line of these vortices in the atmosphere, a powerful northern jet is formed, carrying cold air masses from the Barents Sea to the region.
