If the economy doesn't have a more serious downfall in the next two years, if the people in his entourage do not find a new person to rally behind, and if he himself doesn't decide to place another figurehead in the Kremlin, then yes, Putin will be re-elected president of Russia in the next election.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, is the region that circles the Earth, near the equator, where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. The intense sun and warm water of the equator heats the air in the ITCZ, raising its humidity and making it buoyant.
Say, at the tropic of Cancer, you have the sun at the zenith and six months later, half way in the sky. That changes the insolation and the thermodynamic. It is not only the intertropical zone but everything that moves with the seasons. In the summer, northern Europe sees mostly lows over Iceland. During the winter, those frontal lows move often all the way south to the English Channel, as the North Pole goes in a six months cold night. It increases the size of the polar high pressure region.
