Tornadoes in Russia.
Last weekend in Russia in three regions at once the rarest natural phenomena — tornadoes — were recorded. Geography they are extremely wide – the Urals, the Center of Russia, the Black Sea coast. But there is only one reason – the activation of thunderstorm fronts in the region cyclonic vortices.
To understand the uniqueness of this event, just look to these numbers. Only on the Black Sea coast tornadoes occur more or less regularly, and since 2003 it has been recorded here about 70 similar phenomena. And the weather stations of the Central region and Southern Urals observe them 20-30 times less often – only 2-3 cases per decade.

Usually such vortices arise along with a powerful cumulonimbus overcast. Upflows in its zone are thrown into the lower the stratosphere is very warm air, and the cold displaced from here – sinks to the surface of the earth. As a result of such circulation in in front of a thundercloud a squally collar forms, and if some part of it is drawn into the cloud, it acquires vertical axis of rotation and a tornado is formed.

That is, for the occurrence of this phenomenon, an abnormal overheating of the earth’s surface. But how can this threaten the cold Siberia? More recently, this region was one of the coldest in Russia. Perhaps the June snowfalls are the most striking illustration. an extraordinary start to the summer season, for example, in Kuzbass! But how the situation has radically changed in just a few days! For example, noticed by the June snowstorm Kemerovo (+32) on Monday 5 degrees; ahead in the heat of the subtropical Sochi (+27)!
Currently, a cloudy ridge is clearly visible, stretching to the south of Siberia from Yamal. This is an atmospheric front bearing thunderclouds to the banks of the Irtysh, Ob and Yenisei. Today he will approach Omsk, tomorrow Novosibirsk will be on its way, and Thursday bad weather gets to Krasnoyarsk. That is, the conditions for the formation of tornadoes in the region is quite favorable: a thunderstorm breaks into the zone of abnormal heat that swept southern Siberia.
