Muscovites are set to enjoy scorching summer temperatures until the end of the week, Russia’s Weather Center chief Roman Vilfand announced Monday.
The city is set to warm up to a sunny 26 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, with thermometers expected to creep up to 30 and 33 degrees by Thursday.
The temperatures, which could exceed the July average by 5-7 degrees, are being brought to the city by an anticyclone, the Interfax news agency reported.
The spell of hot weather will be followed by thunderstorms, one of which is most likely to hit certain parts of Moscow on Tuesday. Intense hail and wind are expected.
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.
