After a week of searing heat, temperatures are finally set to drop in the Moscow region with thunderstorms and rain expected in the capital city this week, forecasters have said.
The thermometer will touch 30 C on Monday — roughly 8-9 degrees above average for this time of year — but will drop to 24 C on Tuesday when rain is expected, news agency Interfax reported, citing the regional weather bureau.
Temperatures will reach about 20 C on Wednesday, with thunderstorms and gusty winds also a possibility during the first half of the week, the bureau was quoted as saying.
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.
