St. Petersburg faces cold, windy weather for Cosmonautics Day celebrations. The city will lack spring warmth during the April holiday.
A warm atmospheric front will pass through Saturday, bringing dense clouds with snow and sleet that changes to rain by evening, according to Phobos weather center specialist Mikhail Leus. Drivers should watch for black ice during the morning hours. Temperatures will reach just two to four degrees above zero in the city, with zero to five degrees in the surrounding Leningrad Region. Southwest winds will make conditions feel colder as atmospheric pressure stays below normal at 751 mm.
Weather improves Sunday with precipitation ending and temperatures climbing to 9-11 degrees. The Emergency Ministry already warned about difficult road conditions from snowstorms and ice. Residents preparing for outdoor Cosmonautics Day activities should dress warmly and take precautions against the elements.
