Just as Muscovites thought they could put away their winter clothes for the season, the weather brought in a cold front to remind folks of what it was like to be in the city just a few months ago.
Certain parts of Moscow saw temperatures dip below zero degrees Celsius overnight on the first day of the summer, the Fobos meteorological center reported Friday.
The negative 1.7 degrees Celsius recorded in the Moscow region was not seen on the night of June 1 since the historic low of minus 1.8 degrees in 1881, the Meteonovosti weather portal reported.
Despite this false start to the summer, forecasters expect the weekend in Moscow to be a warm 24 degrees and free of rain.
The rest of the week, however, looks to be on the cloudy side with temperatures expected in the high-teens.
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.
