In the Irkutsk region, October is expected to be relatively warm, in the southern and western areas the average monthly temperature is expected to be 1 degree above normal, and in the north it will be noticeably colder. This year autumn came later than usual, only on September 14 to 15, and in Irkutsk there has still been no Indian summer, which may yet begin in October.
The second month of autumn in the Irkutsk region is forecast to be relatively warm. As Irkutsk Hydrometeorology representative Vladimir Gontar said, the average monthly air temperature in the southern and western parts of the region will be approximately -1, +2 degrees, which is 1 degree above the climatic norm. In the northern areas it will be colder — the average monthly temperature will be in the range of minus 3-7 degrees.- It is worth noting that this year autumn came later than in previous years, - V. Gontar said. - Autumn weather set in the region on September 14-15, which is 5-8 days later than the average long-term dates. As a rule, when the average daily temperature does not fall above +10 degrees, this means the transition from summer to autumn. And last year autumn came 4-6 days earlier than the average long-term dates — on September 3-4.
Despite the autumn weather, there has still been no Indian summer in Irkutsk. Usually this is the name given to the period when the leaves on the trees have already turned yellow, and the weather is quite warm. Although Indian summer can also begin in October, which is quite likely, given the late start of autumn. But what winter will be like is still unknown.
