What will be the winter 2014-2015, weather forecasts

According to recent research, in the winter of 2015 in the Northern Hemisphere a new period of sharp cooling will begin. This conclusion was reached by Japanese scientists, having analyzed the temperature of the surface of the world's oceans for 50 years. As the analysis has shown, there is a direct relationship between the water temperature in the ocean and winter frosts. A careful study of the data showed that the cooling process is cyclical and lasts about 30-35 years. The last period of global warming in the Northern Hemisphere began around 1980 and will end in the winter of 2014-2015. Does this mean that we are waiting for a very cold winter? Not really. Yes, the winter of 2015 will be frosty, but the temperature will drop by 2-3 degrees below average in comparison with similar figures in previous years, so do not be afraid of a new ice age. In this weather will be windy and little snow. Northern winds and lack of abundant snow cover will negatively affect the yield of winter crops. Since the temperature of the air will practically not fall below 0, and there is no strong precipitation, then there is no need to be afraid of ice this winter.
This winter in 2015 will come in the second decade of December, the weather will be frosty and dry - such a basic forecast of weather forecasters. After the New Year holidays, a small warming is expected on much of European Russia, but the air temperature will not rise above zero. The strongest frost is expected in late January - early February. Cooling will be accompanied by a gusty wind.

What will be the winter 2014-2015: folk signs

If scientists in their forecasts are guided exclusively by statistically verified data, then our ancestors knew how to notice the signs of future weather, watching the surrounding world. After all, animals and plants predict the weather is not worse than the Hydrometeorological Center. For example, feeling the approach of severe cold, most fur-bearing animals are overgrown with a particularly thick, dense and warm fur. Proteins, mice and other rodents on the eve of a strong winter try to hide their supplies as far as possible, and, if possible, move closer to human habitation. Understand whether the winter of 2015 will be cold if you look at the acorns. The thicker their shell, the colder the frosts will be. Growing thick shell on acorns, oaks protect their seeds from death in severe cold. Many other plants also act in the same way, for example corn, in which the leaves on the cobs become noticeably thicker. Large pine cones also predict frosty winter weather. Like the particularly bright autumn foliage on the trees.
Walking this autumn in the forest or in the park, pay attention to such "tips" of nature and find out if people's signs and what the winter will be this year.
