anticipated increased winds throughout the weekend in Moscow
Heads Up, Moscow! 🔥
From today until May 5, get ready for some wild winds blowing up to 17 m/s! That's according to the telegram channel, "Moscow City Government". 🌪️
They've warned us all to exercise caution on the streets, steer clear of trees, and make sure cars aren't parked near them. 🌳
Evgeny Tishkovets, a leading specialist at the weather center "Fobos", weighed in on Moscow's climate. While we're expecting a brief taste of spring on May 4, temperatures will only climb back to their usual range in the heart of May. On the 4th, keep an eye out for clear skies and low temperatures (+1 to +6°C) in the evening. But don't get too comfortable; rain showers are set to strike during the day, with temperatures rising to +15-20°C. Unfortunately, this balmy weather won't stick around for long.
Tishkovets also made waves when he reported a 116-year-old precipitation record being broken in Moscow back in 2025. In a 12-hour span, an astonishing 24 mm of rain fell at the VDNKh base station, 22 mm at Balchug, and 28 mm in Tushino! 🌧️
And don't forget, Moscow drivers, you were previously advised to ditch those summer tires due to snow and rain. 🚗
Keep those layers handy, have an umbrella or waterproof gear close by, and pick out some comfy, waterproof shoes for spring's unpredictable showers. Stay safe, Moscow! 💪🌞️🌧️
