What is the weather in Ashgabat: after the rain on Thursday?
Predict the weather is difficult, because the chaotic movement of huge accumulations of air masses and their global interactions cause its changes. In addition, even high quality satellite photos of cloud swirls do not always allow predicting what the weather will be tomorrow. There is a joke that if the weather forecasters say: “Tomorrow will be clear”, it means that tomorrow will be clear what kind of weather will be on this day. Therefore, if weather forecasters promise that tomorrow will be rainy day, and indeed, it is raining, then they deserve every kind of praise.
There is a sunny partly cloudy weather with air temperature from +20 degrees in the daytime and +15 degrees at night on Monday, and up to +37 degrees by day and +26 degrees at night on Sunday, March 25, but with a zigzag on Thursday, when the daytime temperature returns to the value of Monday will be this week. Some on-line weather services promise rain this Thursday, and some are silent about it (this time, ORIENT decided to check the forecast of Oplao.com.)
Then the thermometer's column will drop a little, to the average value of +23 degrees, on Tuesday, March 27. Light spring rain (0.6 mm) with sunny intervals is promised to be this Thursday, March 29, when temperature arises up to +31 degrees. Humid weather with precipitations up to 6 mm will be on March 30. Moreover, the rainfall level will reach 26.4 mm on March 31, when the temperature again drop to 16 degrees. For clarity: 26.4 mm is 26.4 liters per square meter, which not evaporates or flow off the surface.
According to statistics, an average level of precipitations is 201 mm per year in Ashgabat. Precipitation peak is on March, when falls 41 mm of precipitations, and minimum – on August – 2 mm. The variability of these characteristics is great: it was several times with no rain over a month, and, only 37 mm of precipitations, which is similar to the norm for April, was in 2000. In addition, on the contrary, 437 mm of precipitation was in 1969, and 122 mm was on March of 1943!
So, although the summer has almost come, keep an umbrella in readiness. By the way, high technologies have already made their way to the “umbrella” industry. The first here, as usual, were the Japanese inventors who “taught” the umbrella not only to connect to the Internet, or to learn the weather forecast for a specific locality, but also to warn the owner about coming rain, as well as to perform many other useful functions. For example, to connect to the navigation map “Google Earth".
