Snowfall June 20 in Murmansk was not expected. The snowfall is more typical for October, but not for the second half of June. Nevertheless, the snow cover was formed in Murmansk, Severomorsk and Kirovsk.
This is a kind of gift from a resident of the Kola Peninsula from the Arctic cyclone. Someone remembered that something like that was about 40 years ago, when a hurricane hit the Pechenga district and covered the city with snow. Someone commented on the advantages of the June snowfall in the networks: "But there are no mosquitoes, and you will not sweat". Road services cleared streets of snow, townspeople got behind the wheel only as a last resort.
Troubles in the Altai began on June 20 - a downpour with hail and a hurricane of wind fell on Barnaul.
