The upcoming International Women’s Day is expected to bring a notable rise in temperatures across the Southern and North Caucasus Federal Districts. Experts from the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia describe a spell of warm, springlike weather spreading through parts of the country. In the southern regions, the trend points to unusually mild conditions for early March, with several territories recording above-average warmth.
Forecasts indicate Krasnodar will see temperatures climb to as high as 18–19°C, signaling a genuine spring feel. Sochi is projected to reach around 16–17°C, while the Crimean peninsula could experience temperatures near 13–15°C. The Rostov region is also expected to enjoy warmth, with daytime temperatures approaching 16–17°C.
Moving deeper into the Asian side, Omsk, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, and the Altai Territory are anticipated to register milder days around 9°C. This level of warmth is described by the regional expert as quite elevated for the period.
In Khakassia, particularly in the south where Krasnoyarsk Territory borders, temperatures are forecast to reach up to 6–8°C in Tuva on International Women’s Day. While not scorching, this is a noticeable jump from typical late-winter conditions.
Across the Primorsky Territory, air temperatures are expected to rise to 10–12°C, surpassing the climatic norm by about 7–8°C.
South of the Khabarovsk Territory, forecasts show daytime values near 4°C, with Chita and Transbaikalia seeing 6–8°C. These readings reflect a broader regional tilt toward milder weather as winter loosens its grip.
Earlier reports highlighted a wider shift in routine schedules, noting the introduction of a four-day work week and the absence of a working day on March 8. This policy change coincides with the broader pattern of springlike conditions, though it is separate from the meteorological forecast.
