"The next few days – on April 13, 14 and 15 – there will be frost at night: from 0°C to -5°C in the region. The most severe frosts are observed in the east of the region (up to -6°C), that is why there is still snow there and the soil does not thaw out. It got deeply frozen," Valentina Nevorotova said at the meeting devoted to spring flood, which was held in the regional government on Friday, April 13.

She added that on April 17-18 scattered showers and even thunderstorms are possible due to the rise of temperature.

"Thanks God there is no rise of water in rivers and cyclone that would provoke another peak [of flooding]," the director of the Penza centre for hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring noted.

According to her, in spite of the fact that spring flood of the Sura became weaker due to cold, its peak did not pass yet.

"We cannot relax now. There were such cases when the second and even the third peaks were observed. The situation this year is very complicated," Valentina Nevorotova said.
