The scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, dispelled the myth about the danger of high atmospheric pressure in Moscow, which breaks a record for the fifth day in a row, according to “Moscow 24”.
“For Moscow, the norm is 748 millimeters of mercury, because the capital is located at an altitude of 120 to 250 meters above sea level. The higher the point, the lower the pressure, of course. But if you are at sea level, for example, you come to Sochi, St. Petersburg , then there is an average pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury. And do you really feel bad there? “- asks the meteorologist.
He noted that you need to enjoy nature, and not be afraid of high pressure.
“This high pressure gives rise to blue skies, sun, golden autumn, transparent air, when you can enjoy the entire color palette,” said Wilfand.
The record of atmospheric pressure in 2014 was broken on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at 12 o'clock in Moscow, barometers at the VDNKh station showed 1025.2 hPa or 769.1 mm Hg. Art., reports RIAMO.
