Muscovites can expect cooler temperatures over the next week, as last week's record-breaking heat wave subsides, forecasters said Monday.
On Monday, temperatures will not rise above 25 degrees Celsius, with heavy rain, thunderstorms and hail expected during the second part of the day, Interfax reported, citing the Federal Weather Bureau.
Gusts of wind during the storms will reach up to 12-17 meters per second, blowing cooling air into the capital, forecasters added.
From Tuesday, temperatures will drop, with a maximum high of 22 degrees. Wednesday's high will be 20 degrees. Forecasters predict that Thursday will be the coldest day of the week, with temperatures dropping to around 18 degrees.
But warm weather is set to return by the weekend, the weather bureau said, with maximum highs in the high 20s. The air temperature, however, will be significantly cooler than during previous weeks, forecasters said.
Weather records were broken Tuesday and Wednesday last week, as the temperature in Moscow reached over 30 degrees Celsius.

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.
