Indian Summer Awaits Moscow

Moscow is set for a short spell of warm weather at the end of September and the beginning of October, the Interfax news agency reported Tuesday.

According to the Director of Russia’s Meteorological Center, Roman Vilfand, the Moscow region will see “three to four days of temperatures of 15-16 degrees and clear skies.”

“It’s a very late Indian Summer but what can you do?” he said.

According to the meteorologist, an Indian Summer is by definition a short period of warm weather preceded by a prolonged period of damp and cold and warned that wet weather will continue for the rest of the week.

A cold front will hit the city on Thursday and rain will fall for around twenty four hours with wind speeds of around 15 meters per second with temperatures of between six and ten degrees, he said.

Despite the current “grey, cheerless weather,” Vilfand said, average temperatures this month indicate the warmest September for many years.

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.
