Despite the heavenly weather at the weekend, Muscovites are set to come back down to Earth with a bump this week with wet snow predicted to fall on the capital.
The thermometer hit 20 degrees Celsius on Sunday — the hottest temperature recorded this year in the Moscow region and the warmest Orthodox Easter since 2001, Interfax on Monday cited the regional weather bureau as saying.
The weather will remain sunny on Monday, though temperatures will drop slightly to between 13 C and 15 C, RIA reported, citing the Fobos weather center.
But as of Tuesday, temperatures will cool to between 6 C and 11 C with winds of about 5-10 meters per second expected mid-week, the report said.
The forecasters added there was the possibility of wet snow falling at night as temperatures drop below 5 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.
