ArmInfo. May holidays in Armenia will be quite rainy, Zaruhi Petrosyan,
Head of the Operative Hydrometeorology Center, told media on Friday.
She said that in April rainfall was above normal 2-2.5 times.
Unfortunately, early May will not be sunny and warm.
Starting May 1 days will continue and temperature will fall. Enjoying
sunny weather will be possible only after May 7 when temperature
will rise to18-19 degrees. As regards the forecasts of summer, they
are quite optimistic. Z. Petrosyan said summer temperature will be
the norm. In June-July rains will be below the norm, whereas August
will be rainy. As regards the impact of weather changes on harvest,
Garnik Petrosyan, Candidate of Science, Agriculture, says it will not
be disastrous. For instance, fruit trees, especially in Ararat Valley,
may face fungus disease because of heavy rains and soupy weather.
Apricot trees that began flourishing too early, on March 11, are the
most vulnerable to such whether. After flourishing the temperature
sharply fell, therefore the apricot harvest will be at the average
level of below the average. G. Petorsyan says that heavy showers in
mountainous and submontane regions damaged the spring sowing by 40%.
