“On average, for the entire period of the 21st century in our country, according to Roshydromet, there are 371 dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena a year, that is, regarding one every day,” says Andrey Kiselev. – This is if we are talking only regarding those phenomena that have caused serious damage to the economy or people. But it cannot be said that every year is necessarily more than the previous one, this is not the case.

Roman Wilfand agrees with the climatologist:
“You might say that the climate is such a sedate, portly gentleman. It can be associated with a slow steady rise in temperature. And the weather is a wayward girl who will either do this or that. The climate is constantly warming, and the consequence of this is an increase in weather variability. The outstanding scientist academician Umakhov formulated the following formula: during the period of climate warming, the weather is nervous. It is estimated that over the past few decades, the number of hazardous events worldwide has increased fivefold.
