As the weather in Russia shifts gears, residents in various regions prepare for a mix of rain and cooler temperatures this weekend. In Tyumen, meteorologists forecast partly cloudy skies with rain expected in the morning hours. On April 19, 2025, temperatures will range from 0 to +6 degrees Celsius during the day, warming slightly to +8 to +12 degrees at night. Winds will blow at speeds of up to 5 m/s, while the UV index remains at a moderate level of 3 points. Sunrise will occur at 5:19 AM, with sunset at 7:54 PM, giving a total daylight duration of 14 hours and 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, in Tobolsk, the weather will mirror that of Tyumen, with forecasters predicting cloudy conditions and rain throughout the day. The morning and afternoon will see temperatures between -1 and +4 degrees Celsius, while evening temperatures will rise to between +3 and +5 degrees. Winds in Tobolsk will also reach speeds of up to 6 m/s, and like Tyumen, the UV index will remain at 3 points. Sunrise is set for 5:04 AM and sunset at 7:47 PM, resulting in a day length of 14 hours and 43 minutes.

In Ishim, the forecast is slightly different, with cloudy weather expected to clear up later in the day. Rain is anticipated in the evening, with temperatures ranging from -1 to +5 degrees during the day and rising to +4 to +6 degrees at night. Winds will be similar to those in Tobolsk, blowing at speeds of up to 6 m/s. The UV index remains at 3 points, and atmospheric conditions are calm. Sunrise will be at 5:06 AM, and sunset at 7:36 PM, providing a total of 14 hours and 30 minutes of daylight.

As we look towards the Moscow region, significant changes are on the horizon. According to renowned weather forecaster Vilfand, temperatures will drop starting April 23, 2025. Nighttime temperatures in Moscow will fall to between +3 and +8 degrees, followed by even cooler readings of +1 to +6 degrees until the week's end. Daytime highs will hover between +10 and +15 degrees, marking a notable decrease of about 10 degrees compared to current conditions. This shift brings temperatures closer to the seasonal norm for the second decade of April.

In St. Petersburg, the weekend weather will mark the end of an unusually warm spell, with heavy precipitation expected. On Saturday, April 19, 2025, the region will experience the warm sector of a cyclone, lifting temperatures to record highs of +21 to +23 degrees Celsius during the day. However, by evening, a cold atmospheric front will sweep in, bringing rain and possibly thunderstorms, leading to a drop in temperatures. Nighttime lows will be between +11 and +13 degrees.

Sunday, April 20, 2025, is expected to be a stark contrast, with cloudy skies and continuous rain. Temperatures will plummet to a range of +7 to +9 degrees at night and +9 to +11 degrees during the day. Winds will shift to a north-easterly direction, blowing at speeds of 5 to 10 m/s, with gusts contributing to the chilly feel. Atmospheric pressure is predicted to remain low, at around 756 mm Hg, which is below the normal range. Preliminary forecasts suggest that the start of the new week will continue this trend of cooler weather, with light rain expected and daytime temperatures around +7 to +9 degrees.

As the weather patterns evolve across these regions, residents are advised to prepare for the sudden changes and to stay updated with local forecasts. The upcoming days will showcase the unpredictability of spring weather in Russia, reminding everyone that while temperatures may rise, a swift return to cooler conditions is always a possibility.
