It should be noted that the Weather Centre said that the precipitation in Tatarstan would amount to 25-35mm. This will add up to another 60-70% of the monthly average. The republic will be affected by active cyclones with heavy precipitation.

Severe snowfall already was observed in Tatarstan last week. The bad weather considerably complicated the situation on roads in the region. Highways were closed in some districts of the republic because of the blizzard and abundant precipitation. A situation at the Kazan airport was serious — planes couldn’t either take off or land.
