What will the weather be like for New Year 2017 in Russia?
Before telling you about the weather on December 31 and January 1, 2017, we would like to ask you not to judge strictly, if New Year's forecast will not be confirmed, because until the New Year 2017 remains a large number of months and days, but that's all long-term forecasts, as you know, are subject to changes and additions with the help of short-term weather forecasts.
The weather just before the New Year 2017 will be truly wintery. There is no need to be afraid that the central region of Russia will be left without snow and will greet the upcoming holiday in slush and rain. December 2016 will make sure that all Russians will be able to enjoy a full New Year's atmosphere: there will be snowfalls, which will be replaced by a comfortable minus outside (from 5 to 10 below zero) and the absence of heavy rainfall. Therefore, you can safely expect beautiful snowdrifts outside the window, fabulous patterns on the windows and frost on the trees for the New Year 2017.
Weather forecast for Moscow for the New Year holidays 2017
New Year's Eve itself has many surprises in store for Moscow residents. Unfortunately, now, when there is still so much time before the specified date, it is difficult to say with absolute certainty that weather in Moscow from December 31 to January 1 will be very comfortable.
But according to weather forecasters, these are exactly the natural conditions The weather has in store for us from December 2016 to January 2017. The thermometer during the day will drop to a maximum of -6 degrees, at night - to -8, which is considered a very comfortable temperature regime for Moscow, for this period.
What to do in frosty and snowy weather
New Year holidays are the most anticipated time of the whole year. Exactly this period sets the main mood with which we enter this New Year's holiday. Therefore, the most responsible planning of your leisure time falls precisely in the first third of January 2017. Try to make the most of your free days, think not only about passive recreation, but also about active recreation, fortunately the weather in Russia for the New Year 2017 will be very acceptable for hiking the forest for skiing, and for sledding with the whole family, and for snowball fights with children or friends.
Be outside more often, spend this time benefiting your body, give it a break from heavy holiday food - then you can gain sufficient quantity strength for all the accomplishments planned for 2017, and no vagaries of the weather can stop you.
It is too early to give accurate forecasts about the weather on New Year's Eve; for now, weather forecasters only promise that the weather will be rainless. The frost will be from 7 to 10 degrees. Although they also promise that there will already be snow by the new year.
A more accurate weather forecast can be found on this resource.
In fact, weather forecasters have not yet learned how to predict the weather three months in advance with an accuracy of a degree. So far everything is approximately as it was folk signs, by the way - the probability is about the same)) But today I read that in Moscow for the New Year it will be quite comfortable weather- at night -8C, during the day -6C.
According to preliminary data, it will snow in Moscow for the New Year. Temperatures will not be too cold and will hover around five degrees below zero.
I repeat that this preliminary forecast. Accurate forecast can only be given two days in advance.
And I read that there will be snow in Moscow on New Year’s Day. It would be nice if these were beautiful snowdrifts, so that children and adults could feel all the charm of the New Year and the Russian winter in general. But car enthusiasts will certainly be unhappy, since snow is not good for cars.
There are still three and a half months until the New Year. This is a very long time to rely on an ultra-long-term weather forecast that already exists. But how you want to know that on the most magical night of the year there will be wonderful weather that fully corresponds to the holiday.
In the meantime, weather forecasters are predicting or anticipating a rather cold New Year's Eve in Moscow. According to them, on the day of December 31 it will be -10 degrees, and at night the temperature will drop to -15. It will be day and night without any precipitation.
It's better when it's a little warmer and with snow.
This weather forecast will change several times. The most accurate one will be a few days before the holiday on this site.
Forecasters promise the New Year 2017 will be real, fabulous - the way everyone imagines this holiday: with frost, with snow.
So, according to preliminary forecasts, frost is expected (down to minus 10 degrees). In addition, in December there will be precipitation in the form of snow - so the snow cover will be pleasing already in December, and will remain on New Year's Eve.
In any case, closer to mid-December there will be a clearer picture.
New Year's Eve in 2017 in Moscow is already beautiful in itself, regardless of the weather, the main thing is good mood And funny company friends and relatives.
Forecasters even say in their long-term forecasts that weather on the night of New Year 2017 in Moscow will be comfortable.
Precipitation in the form of light snow is expected, as expected for the New Year.
The air temperature on the day of December 31, 2016 is expected to be zero, the same as on the day of January 1, 2017.
But on the night from December 31, 2016 to January 1, 2017, we expect the temperature to drop to minus eight degrees Celsius.
According to average statistical forecasts, the daytime temperature on New Year's Day in Moscow is -7 degrees and at night the thermometer shows an average of -13 degrees below zero.
Forecasters usually hesitate to give long-term weather forecasts and predict the weather for the next month. But some have already decided to make a tentative forecast for the end of December of this year, 2016. So, in Moscow on New Year's Eve will be established overcast, with regular snowfalls.
Scientists also gave their forecast for the New Year 2017, but they were based on the trends of recent years. Their verdict is this: on New Year's Eve in Moscow there will be snowy and windy weather, and there will be snowfalls at the end of December. There will be no rain or slush on New Year's Eve, as the forecast air temperature will be within from minus 5 to minus 10 C.
So Muscovites to the fullest will be able to enjoy the New Year's holiday with traditional snowdrifts, snow-covered trees and frost on the window glass.
Since I live in Moscow, this question is not idle for me, but rather extremely important! New Year this is perhaps the most honest holiday without falsehood and hypocrisy, such as March 8th or Birthdays - where everything is fake and fake. So I also wondered what the weather would be like at home on New Year's 2017, although this is very approximate, it is still terribly interesting. Here's the forecast:
It’s too early for accurate forecasts, but weather forecasters are already publishing approximate forecasts. Here on this site I got acquainted with the weather forecast for last days 2016 in Moscow.
The air temperature during the day is expected to be about 7 degrees below zero, and at night up to -13 degrees. Precipitation is not forecast for these days.
Closer to the New Year, it will be possible to find out more accurate data from meteorologists.
Ideal weather for the New Year is the dream of all residents of Russia. Light frost, white snowball, quietly falling from the sky, the absence of wind - this is what can please you on New Year's Eve. But, unfortunately, the weather in last years completely unpredictable and hard to predict what it will be able to please us with in winter.
The hydrometeorological center tried to determine what the weather will be like for New Year 2018, but these data cannot be considered final, because everything can still change at the last minute.
However, according to preliminary data, winter in central regions Russia will still reduce its frosty ardor and allow people to enjoy the New Year celebrations.
Weather in Russia
The weather conditions expected in the winter of 2018 promise to please us with both frost and thaw. Moodiness Russian winter has been known for a long time, so people have already stopped trusting weather forecasters.
Of course, it cannot be said with 100% certainty that cold weather, snow and snowstorms will sweep through all regions of the country, but in the northern part there will be much more of them.
True, the weather proved its unpredictability back in 2017, when it rained in Moscow at the height of winter, and snow fell in the spring. Let's hope that next year Mother Nature will stop throwing such surprises, and we will meet in calm weather conditions.
According to the Hydrometeorological Center, winter in Russia will not be much different from previous years. The average temperature in the country will not drop below 20 degrees. As for precipitation, residents should prepare for an abnormal amount of snow. Cold rains are also possible.
Weather forecast for Moscow and Moscow region
As for the capital of our Motherland, the employees of the “weather bureau” have established that no special frosts are expected on New Year’s Eve. The air temperature will remain around 6-10 degrees below zero, and on New Year's Eve it will not drop below 6 degrees Celsius.
This means that Muscovites will be able to go shopping without much discomfort, buy gifts for loved ones, festive outfits and food for the feast.
As for precipitation, a few days before the New Year, light snow will fall in Moscow, which will fall on the ground in an even, stable layer and remain until New Year's Eve.
Blizzards and snowstorms will bypass Belokamennaya, so you don’t have to worry about kilometer-long traffic jams caused by bad weather.
On the morning of January 1, weather forecasters expect a slight increase in temperature, it may even go wet snow. Closer to evening, the thermometer will again be below the “O” mark, which means you can safely go out and enjoy the beauty of evening Moscow.
The Hydrometeorological Center warns that ice is likely to form on the roads, so you should not drive unless unnecessarily necessary.
In general, the situation in the city and region will be conducive to a festive mood and long New Year's festivities.
Weather forecast for January 2018 in Moscow
We must pay tribute to the weather forecasters, their forecasts sometimes come true, and I would like to believe that for 2018 they were able to make correct assumptions about the weather. January will not freeze Muscovites and shower them snow avalanches. No, it will allow you to enjoy a well-deserved rest and feel all the delights of moderate cold winter.
Based on the temperature indicators of previous years, the staff of the Hydrometeorological Center compiled a preliminary forecast for January, from which it is clear that:
- The first 5 days are characterized by light frosts at night (-3-6°C) and thaw during the day (+2-5°C).
- Muscovites will celebrate Christmas (January 6-8) with frost. The thermometer will drop to -16-18°C during the day and to -21°C at night.
- Already on January 9-12, the usual weather for Moscow and the Moscow region will be established. The air temperature during the day will not drop below 3°C, and at night it is predicted to be -0-9°C.
- January 13-19 will delight Moscow residents with relatively warm temperatures. During the day, the thermometer will set at 0-3°C, and at night it will drop slightly - to -2-7°C.
- The real ones will begin on the 20th Epiphany frosts. It will get noticeably colder. During the day it will be -7-16°C outside, and at night -16-20°C. But the cold will not last long - only three days.
- Temperature fluctuations will be observed from January 23 to 28. During the day, the thermometer can rise to +2°C, and at night it can drop sharply to -16°C.
- from January 29 to 31 to Moscow etc it's getting warm. Temperature During the day it will reach +6 degrees Celsius, closer to night the thermometer will drop to -8°C.
Heavy rainfall is not expected in the first winter month. Light wet snow will fall occasionally during the day and night. Forecasters recommend the coming winter buy waterproof shoes, because slush and constant puddles can seriously affect your health. Regarding snowstorms and squally winds, then they will bypass the capital of Russia.
Signs for the New Year
Now people can open one of the Internet portals dedicated to weather forecasts and find out what the weather will be like on next week or in a month. But for several decades we could only dream of such a blessing, but our ancestors deftly determined the future weather using folk signs. For example:
- The rowan tree is strewn with fruits, and the oak tree covered with acorns marks the arrival of a cold winter.
- The moon is born lying down in the sky, which means it is warm. If you stand, severe frosts will come.
- On December 30, a red moon is visible in the sky; the end and beginning of the year will be warm.
- If crows occupy the treetops for a few days before the New Year, the beginning of the year will be frosty; and if they “settled” below, wait for the winds.
Forecasters have already made enough reliable forecast what kind of weather for New Year 2017 in Moscow awaits residents of the capital and guests who decided to celebrate the most magical night of the year in this incredible city. After all, many factors depend on the weather, for example, how to dress for the Christmas tree so as not to freeze, or whether it is worth going outside on a festive night at all. This data is especially relevant for those who decided to celebrate the New Year in the main square of the capital.
Already in mid-November, Moscow residents will feel the frost stinging their cheeks and see the first drifts of snow. This weather will last long enough, so the onset of a cold winter will not be a surprise; you can prepare for it in November, no matter how much you would like to admire the autumn colors longer.
The weather for the New Year holidays, which fall at the end of December and the beginning of January, will not please with generous precipitation. After all, the main snowfalls will hit the capital in the first month of winter, and it is unlikely that they will be able to linger by the time the people just leave for their festivities. Severe frosts should not be expected either; according to weather forecasters, the entire winter will be moderately cold, without strong drops in temperature. Taking this factor into account, it can be noted that an early thaw will also not take you by surprise. The weather will be a little capricious: the temperature will rise by 2-3 degrees, then drop again, which will prevent the precipitation from completely melting and turning into puddles.

In summary, the Moscow forecast for the winter is as follows: the frost will not be too severe, snowfall will be rare, and the temperature promises to be more or less stable. Quite good for winter, because you can enjoy both the snow and walks around the city, because the frost will not force everyone to hide in warm corners.
December weather in Moscow
The first ten days of December will be snowy, but the temperature will be moderate, not frosty. The snow in December will fall and melt, so you have to be careful, there can be a lot of snow under the flakes!
Compared to November, December, despite the fact that it is already winter, will be warm. Daytime temperatures will vary between minus 2 and minus 5, and at night the maximum is expected low temperature minus 7. Taking into account subzero temperatures and periodic snowfalls - then a real winter fairy tale is expected in December. You can safely run outside, take a walk, play in the snow without fear of freezing your limbs.
What will the weather be like in the second half of December, which marks the New Year? The second ten days of the first winter month will be more frosty. During the day the temperature will be about minus 10-12, at night up to minus 15-17. After the snowfalls of the first ten days of December, you will have to be content gray sky overhead, since the sun is unlikely to please with its presence. Because of cloudy sky It will be quite humid, so even such a slight minus may seem frosty and icy.
By the end of December, heavy snowfall is expected, so there will be snowdrifts in the city for the New Year, and this is exactly what is needed for a complete festive atmosphere!
January weather 2017 in Moscow
Frosts will begin before the New Year, but for the 2017 holidays the weather will be ideal: light snow, temperatures down to minus 10, no wind and strong snowstorm. In such weather you can enjoy skiing, sledding, and snowmobiling.
But as soon as the holidays die down, the real Russian winter will begin, which will fall in the second ten days of January. The weather during this period will be clear but frosty. The day will bring temperatures down to minus 20, and the night – up to minus 27.
February weather 2017 in Moscow
The first days of February will be warm, about minus 10 degrees during the day and minus 12 at night. Such temperature changes will result in light snowfall. However, here the weather forecasters are divided into two camps: some claim that the snowfall will be heavy and prolonged, while the other claims that the snowfall will last less than a day and is unlikely to create many snowdrifts on the street.
From mid-February 2016, steadily sunny but frosty weather will begin. The cold snap will be sharp and severe. But by the end of February warming is already expected, so the winter will not be long, and already at the beginning of March it will be possible to be content with the slow but sure arrival of the spring thaw.

Winter will be the way winter should be: snowy, a little frosty, but not too harsh. And even if the forecasts of weather forecasters do not come true, you should remember that the most important thing is the weather in the house!
