Muscovites can expect a cold snap and possibly even sleet by the end of the week as a cyclone blows through the region, gusting with it winds from the Arctic, forecasters have said.
State-run news agency RIA Novosti cited Russia's meteorological center as saying the cyclone would cause temperatures to drop sharply this week — to between 2-4 degrees Celsius overnight on Tuesday, with the possibility of sleet, and hovering about 5-7 C throughout Wednesday.
While temperatures are expected to climb to between 7-9 C on Thursday and 5-10 C on Friday, gusty winds and grey skies will be present for most of the week, forecasters added.
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.
