That year, as I entered the university, the saint was somehow late in April, so that the exams were scheduled for Fomina, and for the passionate I had to both go to bed and already finally prepare. The weather after the sleet, which Karl Ivanovich used to call "The son came for his father" for three days it had been quiet, warm and clear. There was no patch of snow to be seen on the streets, the dirty dough was replaced by wet, shiny pavement and fast streams. The last drops were already melting from the roofs in the sun, in the front garden the trees were budding, in the yard there was a dry path to the stables past a frozen heap of manure, and near the porch between the stones mossy grass was green. There was that special period of spring that most strongly affects the soul of a person: a bright, brilliant, but not hot sun, streams and thawed patches, fragrant freshness in the air and a pale blue sky with long transparent clouds. I don't know why, but it seems to me that big city even more tangible and stronger on the soul is the influence of this first period of the birth of spring - you see less, but you more foresee. I stood near the window, through which the morning sun, through the double frames, cast dusty rays on the floor of my unbearably bored me. classroom, and solved on the black board some long algebraic equation. In one hand I held Franker's tattered soft "Algebra", in the other - a small piece of chalk, with which I had already soiled both hands, face and elbows of the semi-tunic. Nikolay, in an apron, with rolled up sleeves, beat off the putty with tongs and bent back the nails of the window, which opened into the front garden. His occupation and the knocking he made amused my attention. Moreover, I was in a very bad, dissatisfied frame of mind. Somehow I didn't succeed: I made a mistake at the beginning of the calculation, so I had to start all over again; I dropped the chalk twice, I felt that my face and hands were dirty, the sponge had disappeared somewhere, the knock that Nikolai made somehow painfully shook my nerves. I wanted to get angry and grumble; I dropped the chalk, Algebra, and began to pace the room. But I remembered that today is a passionate Wednesday, today we must confess and that we must refrain from everything bad; and suddenly I came into some special, meek state of mind and went up to Nikolai. “Let me help you, Nikolai,” I said, trying to give my voice the meekest expression; and the thought that I was doing well, suppressing my vexation and helping him, strengthened this gentle mood of spirit in me even more. The putty was beaten off, the nails were bent, but, despite the fact that Nikolai pulled the crossbars with all his might, the frame did not move. “If the frame comes out now immediately, when I pull with it,” I thought, “it means it’s a sin, and I don’t need to do more today.” The frame leaned on its side and went out. - Where to take her? - I said. “Let me manage it myself,” Nikolai answered, apparently surprised and, it seems, dissatisfied with my zeal, “you must not confuse, otherwise there, in the closet, I have them by numbers. "I'll spot her," I said, lifting the frame. It seems to me that if the closet were two miles away and the frame weighed twice as much, I would be very pleased. I wanted to wear myself out, rendering this service to Nikolai. When I returned to the room, the bricks and salt pyramids had already been placed on the windowsill, and Nikolai swept sand and sleepy flies into the dissolved window with his wing. Fresh fragrant air had already entered the room and filled it. From the window one could hear the noise of the city and the chirping of sparrows in the front garden. All objects were brightly lit, the room cheered up, light spring the breeze stirred the sheets of my Algebra and the hair on Nikolai's head. I went to the window, sat down on it, leaned over into the front garden and thought. Some new to me, extremely strong and pleasant feeling suddenly penetrated my soul. Wet earth, on which in some places bright green grass needles with yellow stems were knocked out, streams shining in the sun, along which pieces of earth and chips curled, reddened lilac twigs with swollen buds swaying just under the window, the busy chirping of birds swarming in this bush, a blackish fence wet from the snow melting on it, and most importantly - this odorous damp air and the joyful sun spoke to me distinctly, clearly about something new and beautiful, which, although I cannot convey it in the way I perceived it, everything spoke to me about beauty, happiness and virtue, said that both this and that it is easy and possible for me that one cannot be without the other, and even that beauty, happiness and virtue are one and the same. “How could I not understand this, how bad I was before, how I could and can be good and happy in the future! I said to myself. “We must quickly, quickly, this very minute become a different person and begin to live differently.” Despite this, however, I sat at the window for a long time, dreaming and doing nothing. Have you ever gone to bed in the afternoon in cloudy rainy weather in the summer and, waking up at sunset, open your eyes and in the expanding quadrangle of the window, from under the linen side, which, puffed up, beats with a rod against the window sill, see the rain-wet, shady, lilac side linden alley and a damp garden path, illuminated by bright oblique rays, to suddenly hear fun life birds in the garden and see insects that hover in the window opening, shining in the sun, smell the after-rain air and think: “I was not ashamed to sleep through such an evening,” and hurriedly jump up to go into the garden to enjoy life? If so, here's an example strong feeling which I was experiencing at the time.

When will spring come and what will summer be like in the region

Winter this year was warm, but long. Spring doesn't seem to come. There are snowdrifts on the street, and you don’t want to change warm winter down jackets for light spring jackets. When will the people of Nizhny Novgorod wait for spring? And what summer will follow? We decided to find out.

Nizhny Novgorod residents celebrated the New Year at almost positive temperatures and without snow at all. December was one of the warmest in the meteorological record. The long-awaited January frosts came only in March.

- We had a non-standard winter, and first of all it was an abnormal December, because in any case it turned out to be very warm. There was also a lot of precipitation, two monthly norms fell in December. As for the entire temperature background of winter, it was warmer than usual by 2 degrees and a little. Cooldowns, which most often occur in late January-early February, have moved to the end of February and the beginning of March. With deviations from the climatic norm by 7-16 degrees, - explained Olga Mokeeva, head of the weather forecast department of the Nizhny Novgorod hydrometeorological center.

Spring this year will come with a significant delay - only in early April. Wherein rapid warming not worth the wait. According to weather forecasts, the temperature in April will range from +4 to +7 degrees.

abnormal warm winter, as well as the upcoming May frosts, may adversely affect crops.

- Abnormal weather in late February and early March - a lot of snow, high temperatures warm days lead to dangerous phenomenon- crops rot, - says the expert.

But the flood, according to weather forecasts, will pass calmly. The water level will be even lower than long-term values ​​by 0.5-1 meter.

– The opening of the Oka and Sura is expected on April 6-14. The opening of Vetluga is in the second decade of April. But these are terms close to the norm. And, according to preliminary forecasts, the maximum water level on the Oka in the lower reaches and on the Sura River can be expected to be below the average long-term values, and on the Vetluga - close to the norm, explains Olga Mokeeva.

The average temperature this summer will be several degrees higher than last year.

This summer promises to be warmer than the previous one. In June +16, +18 degrees, in July - +18, +20, in August - +16, +18.

- Precipitation will be above the norm in June-July. Most likely, this will be due to frontal sections and temperature contrasts. In each of the three summer months, 30-degree heat is likely. Somewhere short-term, in July-early August more intense. But there will be hot days every month, says Olga Mokeeva.

Summer weather will not leave Nizhny Novgorod in the fall. Not only the Indian summer will be really warm, but the whole of September.

- In September, the temperature is predicted to be above 20 degrees, a slight shortage of precipitation is possible. There will be warm dry days, - the specialist shares.

Let's hope that despite the late arrival of spring this year, Nizhny Novgorod residents will still be able to enjoy the warm weather.

Summer in Russia will be quite warm and dry. This was announced by the director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia Roman Vilfand.

So throughout the European part of Russia, summer is expected within the usual temperatures.

"We predict that in general the average temperature background for June, July and August will be near and above the norm in the coming summer," Roman Vilfand said.

Already now due to cold winter some vegetables in Russia have doubled in price

At the same time, the head of the Hydrometeorological Center noted that excess precipitation is not expected in the summer months. "That is, the summer will be quite so idyllic," he stated. In addition, he added that the amount of precipitation in the European part of the country will be even less than in previous years.

Average values, however, do not negate noticeable temperature fluctuations. According to Roman Vilfand, the weather will be with noticeable cycles of warming and cooling, which will alternate with each other.

However, it is not worth waiting for summer tomorrow in the European part of Russia. Frosts are again forecast for the end of May. In the capital, at the end of this week, the beginning of next week, the thermometers will drop from 0 to -5 degrees. At the same time, the daily temperature will not drop much - up to 13-18 degrees.

Warming can be expected only in last days May. The temperature will gradually begin to rise to 22 degrees by Wednesday.

real summer heat still beyond the mountains. "We predict a slow, gradual rise in temperature," Vilfand said.

At the same time, Roman Vilfand did not rule out that sleet could fall in the north of the Moscow Region at the end of this week. "There is such a possibility, because on the night of May 28-29 the temperature will drop to zero degrees," he said. True, he noted that even if it snows, it will not be heavy. Heavy rainfall is not expected in this area.

The director of the Hydrometeorological Center did not see anything surprising in the fact that snow could fall so late. "Snow in May is not uncommon," he said. And he recalled that the last snow in Moscow for the entire observation period fell on June 29. "What seems completely unusual is perceived by meteorologists as completely normal," he assured.

The head of the Hydrometeorological Center believes that the forecast is still favorable for the ripening of grain crops. Even if the April and May cold weather delayed the sowing campaign. "The weather is cold, the top three centimeters of the soil are frozen," he said. Vilfand also talked about the excess rainfall in the most favorable regions for crops: "Due to the excess rainfall, especially in the South federal district and the North Caucasus Federal District, in the south of the Volga region, there is a significant slowdown field work, sowing campaign of spring crops".

"In terms of grain crops, the losses are significant - from 30 to 50 percent," Kirill Lashin, a leading expert of the Fruit and Vegetable Union, told RG.

Get good harvest grains this year is still possible, but it looks like it's time to forget about last year's records. Roman Vilfand assured that spring frosts did not affect winter crops. This gives hope to get a grain harvest in general higher than long-term values, but due to losses in spring crops, it will not be a record.

Over the past few years, Russia has been the largest exporter of wheat and the leader in grain yields. The forecast for winter crops this spring was also one of the best for last years. But then the weather began to show its whims.

The cold spring will also affect the harvest of plums, peaches and apricots in the south Krasnodar Territory and in Adygea. As well as crops that require a lot of heat. “Heat-loving crops, which include sugar beet, sunflower, and corn, have suffered. This applies to Kursk, Oryol, Lipetsk regions where these crops have been damaged by frost," Vilfand said.

The other day, it also became known about "fruit losses" in the south of the country. Many stone fruit crops in Stavropol Territory were destroyed by hail. Among them are cherries and cherries, which very soon the inhabitants of the region were to collect and send for sale to other regions of the country.

We will not see borscht this year either. Up to a third of all crops from the so-called "borsch set" (carrots, beets, cabbage, onions) have already been lost as a result of cold weather in the country, Kirill Lashin believes. According to him, prices for potatoes and onions in Moscow have almost doubled. However, in mid-June the situation may improve, but in any case, in central Russia prices for these products will be about 10 percent higher than usual.

dry and warm spring emerged in Siberia. As a result, a wave of severe fires swept through the region. The fire destroyed entire villages. Recently, the fire situation in the Krasnoyarsk Territory has deteriorated sharply. Due to the hurricane wind and fallen grass, the fire quickly spreads throughout the region. There are already victims. At least three people are known to have died. In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, fires destroyed about 150 houses in just a day, more than 500 people were left homeless. A state of emergency at the federal level has been declared in the region.

For the European part of the country, the fire hazard period will come no earlier than the second half of July. "On the European territory Russia, no early fire hazard period is predicted in the Moscow region," Vilfand said. He noted that while the soil is saturated with moisture, and the weather is cool. Fires should only be expected when the dry period sets in. At the same time, he noted that critical situation will not. "We can't speak for sure about a repeat of 2010," he specified.
