What will be the spring of 2013?

What will be the spring of 2013? More than a hundred years ago, the poet, celebrating the wonders of nature, Feodor Ivanovich Tyutchev argued that spring is the only true revolution in this world. It seems that spring really does every revolution, not only in the climate, in nature, but also in politics, economics and even in fashion. Literally a week ago, in early March, in all regions of Ukraine there was quite warm weather, not quite typical for the beginning of March, a month of capricious and unstable in terms of temperature regime.

But the middle of the month demonstrated the violent and unruly nature of the elements - a storm warning was announced throughout the country, the Balkan cyclones that went through a snow storm in Belgium, France and Germany, paid a visit to Ukraine. Weather forecasters expect strong deterioration of weather conditions, snowdrifts in all western and northern regions, in the south and east of the country, wind up to 20-25 meters per second, rain. The temperature will drop to minus signs, in some areas to -10 degrees below zero at night. Nikolai Ivanovich Kulbida, the head of the state hydrometeorological center, warned us about such sharp changes on the eve of the celebration on March 8, when the whole beautiful half of Ukraine received congratulations and enjoyed the warm spring days. Such contrasts, in the opinion of competent weather forecasters, are characteristic for the period "pre-spring", that is, March, and stabilization of climate whims should be expected only after March 22-25.

When will the spring of 2013 come?

The tradition that came to us from afar, this time slightly brought the Ukrainians. Obviously, the Ukrainian spring does not obey the predictions of marmots, dictating its own conditions. Timka II, a pretty marmot whose predictions many trusted, could not see his own shadow, which meant the coming of spring only six weeks after February 2nd. According to zoologists guarding the cute little beast, Timka hinted at an early, but cool spring. Either the marmot was mistaken, or whether this spring is really set on a revolutionary mood, but six weeks have passed and Ukraine has been snowing, which does not at all look like a forecast formulated as a "cool spring". Most likely, the question "when spring comes 2013" will be answered by nature itself, however, the winters are already in the past, it remains to be hoped that snow storms are just a temporary cyclone phenomenon. The arrival of spring in the world is forecasted through the collection of information on climate change processes in all corners of our planet. Information comes from a variety of sources, most often official and verified in a scientific, statistical and chronological sense, in contrast to the predictions of marmots. The information in the meteorological centers is delivered from the orbiting satellites of the planet, it is provided by the special scientific vessels and observation stations that are constantly plying the seas and oceans. All information is analyzed, and then a forecast calculation is made about the motion of cyclones, wind and the dynamics of temperature changes. In calculations, weather forecasters use complex mathematical formulas and equations, specially written computer programs, but nowhere in the world, no meteorological center will be able to give a 100% accuracy weather forecast. Moreover, the forecast can only be calculated for two weeks ahead, nature itself does not give further insight into the future. The regularities of changing climatic conditions can still be calculated with a greater probability of accuracy for no more than five days, the farther from the reference point than the "longer" period, the greater the errors in the forecast. Therefore, do not complain too much about the errors of the weather forecasters, they will only be able to assume the arrival of spring, but not to calculate. Their main task is to warn the population about really threatening phenomena such as heavy snow, thunderstorms or storm winds only to assume, but not to calculate. Their main task is to warn the public about really threatening phenomena, such as heavy snow, thunderstorms or a stormy wind. They can also give information about the approach of a cyclone or a cold, arid or rainy front with a calculation for five to seven days. So, when the spring comes the answer from N.I. Kulbides are - he claims that since early April, but practice shows that in April, chills or frosts are possible. The well-known weather predictor V. Nekrasov, making recommendations in accordance with the lunar calendar, says that the whole of March will be very moody, snowy or rainy in the south, April will flood the entire territory of Ukraine with rains and only from the second decade of May will the long-awaited warmth come. It is interesting that Nekrasov promises not just heat, but the beginning of the summer.

Whatever it was, but the calendar spring still came, what will be the spring of 2013, we will see, hear, feel on our own experience. By the way, experts say that the spring atmosphere, irrespective of the temperature regime and precipitation, has a beneficial effect on the human body.

In the spring, air really changes, it becomes more saturated, because humidity and atmospheric pressure change. Air, despite its ephemeral and invisible, people used centuries ago, when they learned how to walk on the seas with the help of sailing ships, grind grain with the help of windmills. However, neither the air in spring, nor in general any seasonal air for very long, no one measured as a resource. Only in the XVII century the air was "weighed", and distinguished by his invention is not the great Galileo, who lived at that time, and his talented student - Torricelli. On the basis of his discovery, much later, a device was invented that measured the air parameters, the barometer. The air in the spring literally breathes lightness, change, purification and renewal, as if repeating the words of the poet Baratynsky "Spring, spring! How the air is clean! "As solar activity increases in the spring, air saturation also increases, all qualitative parameters are updated, many of us really feel that it is easier to breathe than in winter. Thus, even if a small activation of human resources is one of the signs of a spring "upgrade". However, there are also long-time proven signs of spring, according to which our ancestors determined the weather and made the planting, planting calendar

The signs of spring, their great variety, but there are really informative, among which the following are interesting: 

• If in the first ten days of March on the roofs appear icicles, which do not rush to please us with a drop, do not melt, then the spring will be cold and protracted. 
• If the spring rain turns into a thunderstorm with lightning, but without thunder, it is expected a dry, hot summer. 
• If in the early spring larks and flocks of rooks arrive on the fields, the spring will be warm and dry. 
• In the area where birches grow, local people often collect birch sap, which is also a kind of "predictor" of the weather. The abundant flow of juice foreshadows a long, cool spring. 
• In the old days they said that spring would never come before the Carnival. What will be the spring of 2013 can be determined by the calendar, because this year, Forgiveness Sunday falls on March 17, so before this time, expect the spring heat and not worth it. 
• Easter this year is also quite late, before May 5, there is no sustainable heat to harvest. 

Date March 15 in the people called Vetronos, more precisely, Fetod-Vetronos. And indeed, from year to year, on this day the winds are usually blowing. Moreover, according to Fedot, you can predict the summer weather. If on March 15 there is a cold weather, on the ground at night, frosts or snow lies, then our ancestors spoke accurately and capaciously - Fedot, but not the one. This meant that the summer will be rainy, cool

What will be the spring of 2013? Let's hope that the heat will still come, and it does not matter whether in March or in May. In every spring there is a spirit of novelty, hopes for accomplishments and positive changes, as in Vysotsky's lines "Spring is inevitable, well, as a renewal, and it is necessary, just like spring."
