"The number of snowy and frosty days in Baku has decreased over the past decade." According to Gadin.Net, this was stated by the head of the National Hydrometeorological Service of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources Umayra Tagiyeva during a live broadcast of the "Expert Hour" program on the official Facebook page.
"The harshest winter was in 1972," he said. December 2002 was a very cold month. At that time, it increased the number of frosty days on the Absheron Peninsula by 18 times, including Arctic air masses. "In February 2012, the Caspian Sea froze from Nabran to Sumgayit," he said. According to him, no snow will be observed in Baku in the coming days:
"It is impossible to make a long-term forecast," he said. Two- to three-day forecasts are more reliable. But no one can say that the snowy, frosty weather observed in February 2012 will not happen again. If this happens, we will inform the population 2-3 days in advance. "
