The Moscow Meteorological Institute has issued warnings regarding an impending hot spell expected to affect the region through the second decade of August. Forecasts indicate that temperatures are anticipated to reach 32 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and 33 degrees Celsius by Friday. Due to these conditions, an orange-level warning has been declared, signaling a heightened risk of extreme weather and heatwaves.
This advisory remains in effect until the evening hours of August 7. The projected heat poses differing thresholds across Russia. For the city of Moscow, the threshold for what is classified as “big heat” is set at 30 degrees Celsius.
In contrast, other regions are expected to experience hazardous conditions when temperatures reach or surpass 35 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the Russian Hydrometeorological Center predicts that the period of “big heat” will transition between May and August, during which time temperatures are forecast to meet or exceed these dangerous levels. Currently, the temperature recorded at the main meteorological station is reported at 30 degrees Celsius.
Residents in Moscow are advised to monitor official updates as the hot period progresses. These forecasts detail the severity of the expected weather, outlining the progression of elevated temperatures until the end of the specified period.
