October record for atmospheric pressure beaten in Moscow
In Moscow, an October record for atmospheric pressure was set. The leading employee of the Phobos weather center, Evgeny Tishkovets, told RIA Novosti about this.
“On October 3, the capital started with a record high atmospheric pressure – already at midnight its value was 762.1 millimeters of mercury, which is higher than the extremum of 1988, which still held the champion status at the level of 761.3 millimeters of mercury, and by noon the arrow of the barometer has already shown 762.6 millimeters of mercury, “Tishkovets said.
At the same time, the forecaster believes that this is not the last meteorological record in October 2021.
“Every day the atmospheric pressure in the center of the anticyclone will grow, which means that the baric dome will continue to increase, and will reach its peak on October 6-7. In Moscow these days, barometer readings will grow to 767 millimeters of mercury, which is 22 units higher than the norm, ”said a leading employee of the Phobos weather center.
Tishkovets warned that hypertensive patients with such atmospheric pressure may feel uncomfortable, “but you can count on the sun.”
According to the forecaster, most of European Russia is now dominated by a vast anticyclone centered over the Komi Republic. This is what determines the “abnormally high background atmospheric pressure.”
Earlier, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, warned that due to a powerful anticyclone, weather anomalies await the European part of Russia in the coming days.
