After more than a week of unseasonably warm weather in Moscow, forecasters have predicted a return to cooler temperatures, with rain and lightning also expected over the coming days.
According to the regional weather bureau, the weather will remain cloudy in the first half of the week with showers, gusty winds and thunder, particularly on Tuesday, Interfax reported.
Temperatures in the city are set to hover about 24 degrees Celsius, forecasters were quoted as saying.
Last week's heat wave in the capital saw the temperature record twice broken, with the thermometer touching 27.9 C on Wednesday — the hottest June 4 for 117 years — and 31.6 C on Thursday.

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.
