At the same time, according to Melnikov, this drop in temperature on human health negatively does not affect. On the contrary, I am sure, academician, cold peace will take both people and animals.
“In the distant past, when humanity was not yet the means of salvation from the cold, glacial periods have led to disastrous results down to the extinction of species. However, this were cold different scale and in terms of duration and in terms of temperature. They are not comparable with the short-period cycles that we are going through, “- said the scientist.
This is not the first forecast, according to which Russia come harsh winters.
As the head of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet), Alexander Frolov, the major cold fronts pass over the Urals and southern Siberia.

The American scientists the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration conducted a study and concluded that the Russian weather forecasters are right projections regarding the entry of the Earth into a cold cycle, but the drop in temperature will occur against the backdrop of global warming.
Melnikov also said that his memory of climatic cycles were replaced twice. “From my personal experience of life, I can say that people are going through cycles of peace, human immune system is accustomed to such fluctuations,” – said the scientist.
Earlier, meteorologists predicted that this winter the temperature will be close to normal. In the European part of Russia will be cooler than last year, said the head of Hydromet Alexander Frolov.
“A characteristic feature of the forecast, which released the Met – sharp fluctuations in temperature. There are periods and prolonged strong cooling, and periods of thaw “- he added.
Prior to that, head of the Hydrometeorological Center of the Russian Roman Vilfand made a similar forecast. According to him, the severe frosts of the coming winter is expected.
“The current winter season is not expected to extreme cold, but temperature background in European Russia is projected lower than the winter 2014 – 2015 year”, – he said.
