With subzero temperatures already the norm, forecasters are predicting that the winter months ahead will be the coldest to hit Moscow in the past 20 years.
"This winter will be the coldest in the past 20 years. It will be like the good old days, snowy and frosty, without any climatic abnormalities," an expert from the capital's Fobos meteorology center told RIA-Novosti on Wednesday.
Temperatures have often deviated from monthly norms over the past few years, with slush and rain replacing ice and snow, the expert clarified.
But this year "temperatures will be within climatic norms," the expert said, without elaborating on the temperatures in store for Muscovites in the coming months.
(MT)A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
