In the coming May, the monthly amount of precipitation in most of the territory is predicted to be within 130-180% of the norm (norm: 36-57 mm). The average monthly air temperature in the western regions is expected to be within the climatic norm, in the eastern regions it is 1-2C lower (norm: in the southern regions +8…+9C, in the extreme south +10C, in the central and northern +5…+7C, in the extreme in the north +2…+4С, in the extreme northeast -1С). This forecast is given by the Komi Central State Medical University.
Cyclonic activity is forecast for a significant period in May, which will lead to the predominance of cloudy weather and an increase in the number of days with precipitation.
The temperature background in the first half of the month is expected to be low relative to the climatic norm and close to it, in the second half it is expected to be unstable with frequent alternation of cold and warm periods. Until mid-May, daytime air temperatures in the main territory will not exceed +8C; only on some days in the south can the temperature reach +15C.
In the Arctic, temperatures are expected to range mainly from -5C to +5C. At night, mostly light frosts are expected everywhere, and in the extreme northeast on some nights a drop to -15C is possible. And only in the second half of May in most of the territory there is a possibility of an increase in daytime warming up to +8…+15C, on some days and higher.
The destruction of stable snow cover in forests will continue, and there will be no fire danger until mid-May. In the future, starting from the southwestern regions, the degree of fire danger in forests will increase.
