British media: Cold winter expected in Europe amid energy crisis

Today, Sunday, October 2, the European Center for Meteorology announced that Europe will face a colder winter this year amid the global energy crisis, according to the British Financial Times.

Meteorologists expect a decrease in precipitation and a decrease in wind speed used to generate power.

The newspaper stressed that such expectations represent a potential problem for the authorities of a number of European countries, which are forced to combat high energy prices in light of these countries’ rejection of Russian hydrocarbons.

This situation has been exacerbated by the high temperatures last summer, as the amount of energy generated by wind and water power plants has decreased.
