Hydrometeorological center warned of 43C heat in several regions of Russia
2021-08-04
Shhhh — don’t tell ‘em it’s summer.
[REGNUM] Very hot weather will set in the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Rostov regions and the Stavropol Territory by the end of the working week, said Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center.

According to him, the heat wave will affect many regions in the European part of Russia, but in some continental regions the average temperature will reach 43C (109.4 F).

"It is very hot on the lower Volga, in the Astrakhan region. Up to 43C in the Volgograd region, in the Rostov region also up to 43C, as well as in the south of Stavropol," said the head of the Hydrometeorological Center.

The same abnormal increase in temperature, according to Wilfand, will occur in cities on the Black Sea coast.

"Vacationers go for warmth, but it's actually hot there. Even on the Black Sea coast up to 35 ºC and in the Sochi area too. In Simferopol 30-37C, in Sevastopol 30-35C," he noted.
