Fog, Rime, and Freezing: Wednesday Forecast for Primorye

Overnight on Wednesday, a low-activity frontal section of the Khabarovsk cyclone passed over Primorsky Krai, bringing cloud cover. There were no significant precipitation events — light snow was only observed in places in the north of the region. Under cloud cover, cooling weakened, and nighttime frosts became less intense.

According to Primhydromet forecasters, nighttime temperatures ranged from -11 to -19 °C (-2 to 12 °F), on the coast and in eastern areas from -3 to -10 °C (27 to 14 °F). In Vladivostok, thermometers dropped to -6…-9 °C (21 to 16 °F) overnight.

Towards the morning of February 4, the front left Primorye. However, colder air began to flow into the region behind it, leading to a drop in daytime temperatures. Across most of the krai, they ranged from 0 to -8 °C (32 to 18 °F), with positive values only remaining in the south.

Weather conditions in the region throughout the day will be determined by a low-pressure field. Precipitation is unlikely, and winds are expected to be light to moderate. During the day, air will warm to -2 to +3 °C (28 to 37 °F), in the north to -3 to -8 °C (27 to 18 °F).

During the day on February 4 in Vladivostok, fog will dissipate and temperatures will approach freezing, from -1 to +1 °C (30 to 34 °F). Wind is northerly, moderate.

In Ussuriysk and Nakhodka, also no precipitation. In Ussuriysk, daytime temperatures will be around 0 to -2 °C (32 to 28 °F). In Nakhodka, the temperature background is milder: air will warm to +2 to +4 °C (36 to 39 °F).

Forecasters noted that no sharp weather changes are expected in the near future, but drivers and pedestrians are advised to exercise caution due to possible rime and black ice.
