The Tula region is anticipating significant weather changes starting March 16, 2025, as forecasts indicate fluctuations between cloudy and clear skies, with temperatures varying drastically throughout the week.
According to meteorologist Alexander Ilyin from Meteo-TV, the weather for March 16 is expected to display predominantly cloudy conditions, with occasional clearings. The atmospheric pressure will begin at around 747 mm Hg early on the 16th, gradually declining to 739 mm Hg as the day progresses. This drop coincides with nighttime temperatures expected to fall to around -6 degrees Celsius, ensuring chilly conditions as the weekend wraps up.
Ilyin emphasized, "The weather will be predominantly cloudy with occasional clearings and light snow expected," projecting conditions on March 17. The regional forecast anticipates minor snowfall as the atmospheric front moves through the area. The variable cloudiness is also set to continue over the next couple of days, especially on March 18. The temperatures will reflect significant variability, starting at -2 degrees Celsius during the night and potentially reaching as high as +6 degrees Celsius during the day.
By the beginning of the work week, the winds will be variable, reaching speeds of up to 8 m/s. Atmospheric pressure values will hover between 740 and 745 mm Hg. While precipitation on the 17th and 18th remains likely, the forecast does highlight the possibility of ice forming on roads overnight, making for slick conditions for morning commuters.
Weather watchers are warned to remain cautious, particularly during the night hours when temperatures will dip. Just before the onset of the anticipated warm-up later in the week, temperatures could range from -7 to -2 degrees Celsius at night, with daytime highs fluctuately gently between +1 to +3 degrees Celsius.
By March 19, pressure is expected to begin rising again, heralding the arrival of much more stable weather conditions. Predicted conditions include clearer skies and lack of precipitation, which many are certain to appreciate after the long stretches of winter weather. Ilyin believes this transition to good weather will provide the Tula region with favorable conditions by the end of the week, stating, "The second half of the week will be characterized by pleasant, rainy-free days."">
Temperatures will rise to reach averages typically associated with this transitional period, potentially exceeding climatic norms by as much as 2-5 degrees. This means clear skies—especially by Friday, March 21—when temperatures could increase to between +5 and +10 degrees Celsius during the day.
For various activities across the Tula region, these shifts will come as welcome news. Whether enjoying outdoor tasks or just leaving the house to run errands, residents can look forward to improving conditions. Winds will remain mostly westerly throughout the week, contributing to clearing skies and beautiful sunny conditions as the days progress.
During the earlier part of the week, it’s worth noting the temperatures at night are expected to be frosty. Ilyin indicated overnight lows could touch on -4 to -9 degrees Celsius, so residents are advised to dress warmly if they plan to be outdoors and should anticipate potential travel disruptions caused by icy conditions.
With the weather turning more favorable by the weekend of March 21, many are hopeful for clear, sunny days free of disruptions. This upcoming reprieve from winter weather should not only lighten spirits but also provide ample opportunities for Tula residents to engage outdoors as conditions mitigate previous winter chills. The warming trend toward the end of March allows for growth—both of budding spring flora and the optimism of the community.
It is advised to check back on updated forecasts as advancements can rapidly alter mid-March conditions. Those traveling or planning outings should remain tuned to local weather updates to avoid any unforeseen weather impacts.
