Russia (bbabo.net) - A powerful cyclone "Ilenia" should cover the capital region this coming Thursday. Evgeny Tishkovets, a leading employee of the Phobos weather center, shared this forecast with RIA Novosti.

Wednesday will be the last clear day this week. On Thursday evening, sleet and rain will fall on the capital. The storm will last until the morning of February 18. Since the air temperature will remain spring, the snow will soon give way to a real "clean" downpour. And for the first time in this autumn-winter season, umbrellas will be needed. In total, one fifth of the monthly rainfall on this day.

At the same time, Ilenia will bring storm winds to the capital region: its speed in gusts will increase from 4 to 15-20 meters per second.
