The first snowfall in Nerungri

The last day of summer brought to South Yakutia another cataclysm. Thermometer displayed 0º C. On the night of August 31 light wet snow turned into abundant snowfall.

The cataclysm is explained by the cyclone came from West Siberia . With all this going on, forecasters do not give any positive promise: such weather will last for more two weeks. By that time, it will be not far from real northern winter.

South Yakutia residents may console themselves with the fact that Neryungrinsky region is ready to heating season. Kindergartens, schools and hospitals have got heat prior to the start of academic year.
