St Petersburg will feel extra warm today as temperatures reach near-record levels. Weather expert Mikhail Leus says the city sits under an atmospheric front coming from northern areas. He predicts partly cloudy skies with brief rain showers during the afternoon hours. Some parts of the city might also experience thunderstorms. Despite the rain, temperatures will climb very high for April.
Thermometers will show 21-23 degrees in the city itself. The surrounding Leningrad Region will see similar warmth between 18-23 degrees. Today's heat may break the daily record from April 19, 2000, which stands at 21.1 degrees. Light northwest winds at 3-8 meters per second will blow across the region. Air pressure remains lower than normal at 754 millimeters.
The weather will change quickly tomorrow. Sunday brings more rain to St Petersburg. Temperatures will fall sharply to just 9-11 degrees, a dramatic drop from today's warmth. People should enjoy the summer-like weather today before the cold returns tomorrow.
