Abstract

In this paper we considered the Ulyanovsk heating period characteristics in the period from 2000 to 2020 and their changes. Daily meteorological observations of the Ulyanovsk Civil Aviation Meteorological Station were used as the initial data. Statistical analysis showed that during the period under review, there was a noticeable warming of the cold part of the year, as a result of which the fuel consumption index decreased. It is revealed that the duration of the heating period increases due to its later finish in the spring.
