The residents of Krasnoyarsk opened the sunbathing season a week ago. On the banks of the Yenisei, of course, no one is sunbathing. But many people prefer to go out naked for walks in city parks. This April, say the townspeople, turned out to be not Siberian warm.

Ulyana Filonenko: “Wonderful weather for sunbathing, for sports, for walking with children. But in general, the weather is abnormal for Siberia. Yes, it is snowing in Moscow, it's cold everywhere, but here it is just amazingly warm."

The last place where you can still find snow in Krasnoyarsk is the ski slopes. But streams are already running down from them. For skiing, experts say, there is literally a week left. Coaches advise wearing warm equipment only as protection against falls.

Forecasters have been recording temperature records for many days. In some areas of Krasnoyarsk, the temperature rises to plus 23 degrees. Prior to that, April 1956 was considered the warmest, but then it was already 5 degrees lower.

The weather in Siberia, forecasters explain, is now influenced by warm masses from Central Asia. The only ones who watch the forecasts of meteorologists with caution are the rescuers: in a few hot days they had to extinguish six forest fires and almost a hundred grass fires. Although high temperatures only contribute to their occurrence, they are certainly not the cause.

Viktor Makeich, Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation for the Krasnoyarsk Territory: “The main reason for the occurrence of such fires is careless handling of fire. We all see perfectly well when we drive along the roads, along the highways, when they throw half-smoked cigarettes or make an uncontrolled fire. All this leads to the spread of dry grass to residential buildings."

The sharp warming threatens the health of Siberians as well. The thermometer reaches unprecedented values only in the afternoon. At night, the temperature is quite typical for April: it keeps around zero degrees. And, going outside in the morning, forecasters say, this is worth remembering so as not to catch a cold.

Siberians are used to complaining about the bad climate. They say that winter is not like that of people: not three months, but as much as six - so much snow usually lies. But this year only two months were really snowy. We can only boast about such weather.
