November Weather Forecast for Russia: Rain, Snow, and Heat Predictions
November in Russia is expected to bring a mix of conditions, with warmth giving way to unusual precipitation patterns in many regions. The scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, noted that the month will feature significant rainfall and snowfall across several areas, including the Amur, Voronezh, Irkutsk regions, Primorye, and other parts of the country, according to TASS.
Vilfand explained that rainfall in November is likely to exceed normal levels in the western portions of the Novgorod and Tver regions, as well as in the Tula, Tambov, Smolensk, Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, and Voronezh regions. He also warned of heavy rainfall in the southern sectors of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Irkutsk Territory, Khakassia, the Khabarovsk Territory, the Amur Region, Buryatia, Primorye, Tyva, Sakhalin, the Magadan Region, the southwest of Yakutia, and the southern areas of Kamchatka. The expert added that the prediction applies region by region, reflecting the country’s diverse climatic landscape.
On the other hand, a rainfall deficit is anticipated along the coasts of Yakutia and Chukotka. In many other regions of Russia, rainfall is expected to be near normal levels for the month.
Looking beyond precipitation, Vilfand indicated that November could be unusually warm in several areas. He pointed to much higher-than-normal temperatures in northern Yakutia, northwestern Chukotka, the majority of the Central Federal District, the entire Volga Federal District, as well as the South and North Caucasus Federal Districts. The southern half of the Ural Federal District is also projected to record higher temperatures. In contrast, temperatures in other parts of the country are expected to align closely with long-term climate norms.
During the lead-up to November, Moscow’s weather outlook drew particular attention. The Moscow Meteorological Bureau’s chief specialist, Tatyana Pozdnyakova, emphasized that October in Moscow had already earned a mark as the rainiest October observed in the last 140 years, signaling a notable shift in seasonal patterns for the region.
The broader implication of these forecasts is a November that features pronounced regional diversity. Some areas may experience heavy rain or snowfall, while others see milder, drier conditions with higher-than-average temperatures. This variability is characteristic of Russia’s vast geography, where climate signals can differ markedly from one administrative region to the next. Residents and authorities alike are encouraged to monitor local forecasts closely, prepare for rapid weather changes, and plan activities with a flexible mindset to accommodate shifting conditions. While rainfall patterns dominate the immediate concern, temperature anomalies—whether unusually warm pockets or cooler spells—also play a key role in shaping daily life, agriculture, transport, and energy planning across the country.
