Frosts in St. Petersburg will intensify this week. According to meteorologist Mikhail Leus from the FOBOS center, the negative temperature anomaly has already reached 3.5 degrees Celsius and will continue to grow.
On Monday and Tuesday, light snow will occur in places due to an atmospheric front near the southern borders of the region. Then, the weather will be determined by a ridge of the Scandinavian anticyclone, which will raise pressure by 14-16 mmHg above normal. Temperature readings will remain 5-6 degrees below average long-term values, which rules out the possibility of a thaw at least until the end of the first decade of February.
