It may be time for Muscovites to put away their winter garb definitively and dig out their summer clothes, with temperatures in the city set to rise to 30 degrees Celsius by the weekend.
According to the Moscow regional weather bureau, temperatures in Moscow and the Moscow region could reach up to 28 C on Saturday and up to 30 C on Sunday, Interfax reported Wednesday.
The thermometer may even rise above 30 C on Monday in what amounts to an unseasonably warm spell for mid-May, the weather bureau was quoted as saying.
For reference, the U.S. National Weather Service only expects temperatures in Miami this weekend to reach 28 degrees C.
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.
