This winter is expected to be milder than last year.
Globalinfo.az reported that Russia’s Phobos weather centre released the information.
The reason is the strengthening of the El Niño climate phenomenon observed in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
According to data released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), 2026 will be one of the four warmest years on record.
The organisation estimates that the effects of El Niño could cause global temperatures to rise until early 2027.
A mild winter is also considered likely for Azerbaijan. However, this does not mean there will be no frost or snowfall in the country. Snowfall is expected, especially in the regions.
Experts note that rising global temperatures do not rule out severe cold spells in individual regions. Thus, although average winter temperatures will be slightly above normal, brief severe frosts and heavy snowfall are possible.
