It may be time for Muscovites to put away their winter garb definitively and dig out their summer clothes, with temperatures in the city set to rise to 30 degrees Celsius by the weekend.
According to the Moscow regional weather bureau, temperatures in Moscow and the Moscow region could reach up to 28 C on Saturday and up to 30 C on Sunday, Interfax reported Wednesday.
The thermometer may even rise above 30 C on Monday in what amounts to an unseasonably warm spell for mid-May, the weather bureau was quoted as saying.
For reference, the U.S. National Weather Service only expects temperatures in Miami this weekend to reach 28 degrees C.
