Muscovites should be able to make the most of a warm spell in the capital this weekend, but have been warned by forecasters that winter is on the horizon.
A forecaster from the regional weather bureau told the Regnum news agency on Thursday that Muscovites would have up until the end of November before the long Russian winter sets in.
In the meantime, residents of the capital can cast aside their warmer clothes with the weather set to improve to mid-September levels.
Temperatures are expected to rise from between 10-14 degrees Celsius on Friday to up to 17 C over the weekend, the forecaster was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency, predicting rain for some parts of northern Moscow.
Temperatures will be back to normal by next week, dropping to as low as 8 C by next Tuesday, the report said.
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.
