Elena Mateescu, director of the National Meteorological Administration, presented at Antenna 3, the latest information on how the weather will be in the next period, including Christmas and New Year.
“The first decade of December already records a positive thermal deviation of 2.5 degrees Celsius compared to the climatic normal of a winter month in our country. In terms of rainfall, we are still below the climatic average of December We record an average amount of almost 27 l / sqm compared to a climatological average of 44.8, but what happened in this part of the country, in the southeast, will contribute a lot to the restoration of the water supply in soil, as we know, a very dry agricultural year.This amount of rainfall will certainly be able to record a substantial recovery.
Christmas time
For week 14-21, we are already noticing the shades of red that indicate significant thermal deviations in the whole country compared to what would be normal during this period. We see on the right side of the screen, the average multiannual temperatures of this week. If we discuss especially in the shower of generally average temperatures, from 0 to -2 degrees, we notice that we will have higher temperatures by 5 degrees Celsius during this period. It is quite a lot, we will count next week, especially in the southeastern part of the country of values that record even 10, possibly 11-12 degrees Celsius. It’s warmer and close to normal. The fact that it is warmer can be a signal of precipitation predominantly in the form of rain. At first glance, Christmas Day, from the data we have now, we would be at the maximum between 4, even up to 10 degrees Celsius, with the highest values, especially in the south and southeast of the country.
New Year’s weather
Deviations are decreasing -1.5 degrees Celsius, but we will certainly see. Usually, the signal for the last two weeks generally changes at the next run of the data, but what is important when we observe that three weeks in a row, from the analysis interval, if this trend continues, we certainly count on a higher than 75% probability of actually having higher values over the years. You will see a downward trend in rainfall, which means a low probability of rainfall over the years and if we talk about higher temperatures, certainly a chance to have more chances of rain, “explains the director of ANM.
