Specialists report: The average daily air temperature is expected to reach -35°C (-31°F) in the south of Tyumen Region on January 26 and 27. Moreover, the Hydrometcentre forecasts that temperatures will fall to -42°C (-44°F) at night.

Due to such severe frosts, in-person lessons for schoolchildren may be canceled again in the region. Last week, students already stayed home for a similar reason, but then decisions on weather-related cancellations caused dissatisfaction among parents, students, and teachers. Those disagreeing with the authorities« actions filed complaints with public figure Yekaterina Mizulina.

Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov responded to this situation, calling on regional leaders and education departments to approach decision-making promptly and responsibly.

As for the forecast for the near future, meteorologists had previously reported when warming could be expected in the region.
