In fact, Astrakhan is called the largest arid city in Europe. The climate there is temperate, sharply continental with a rather hot summer and a short, moderately cold winter. The sunny weather in Astrakhan dominates over 200 days a year. The average annual air temperature reaches +10 ° C. @ Astrakhan is called the largest arid city in Europe

Winter weather in Astrakhan is extremely unstable and characterized by frequent transitions from frosts to thaws and vice versa . Air temperature can vary on average from -6 to -10 ° C . There are also severe frosts and positive temperatures . Snow cover is formed in December, but its altitude but does not exceed 10 cm . In winter, Astrakhan winds predominate in the eastern directions . In some cases, the wind gathers speed up to 30 m / s and is accompanied by snowstorms . Snowstorms help redistribute the snow cover and may expose areas of fields, which is extremely unfavorable for agriculture .

But with a gradual change in the temperature regime, drizzling rainfall becomes more frequent. Above the rivers, a nebula is formed due to the contrast between warm water and rapidly cooling air. Up to mid-October, air temperatures rarely fall below +10 ° C. The first frosts usually occur in November, but the negative temperatures become more stable by December.
