"Warmer than usual weather in the winter months can be mainly associated with climate change, as well as the influence of various synoptic and meteorological factors. The increase in global temperature in recent years can lead to hot weather even in winter".

This was reported by Doctor of Geographical Sciences, Head of the Caspian Hydrometeorology Department of the H. Aliyev Institute of Geography, Said Safarov.Safarov reported that compared to the pre-industrial era (1850-1900), the global average temperature of the Earth has increased by about 1.1 degrees in recent decades, which manifests itself somewhat differently in different regions of the world: “For example, in the northern latitudes, this increase is more pronounced. In Azerbaijan, the increase in average annual temperature is close to global indicators. Warming can manifest itself differently in different months. For example, the increase in temperature may be more noticeable in the winter months, especially in January and February, while in November the warming will not be noticeable. Sudden warming of the air in the winter months is usually caused by the influence of warm air masses coming from the south or southeast. Conversely, air masses from the north, northeast and northwest can bring colder air, lowering the temperature.

Thus, while global warming usually leads to an increase in average annual temperatures throughout the year, this increase can be felt differently in different months: that is, the temperature can rise, fall or fluctuate. For example, one year January can be cold, and another - warm. "This is due not only to climate change, but also to the nature of the air masses and atmospheric conditions in the corresponding month, when sudden changes in weather conditions are possible."

The climatologist emphasized that, ultimately, such temperature changes are a manifestation of global warming as a whole.
