Anticipated respite from rainfall in Moscow: Approaching cyclone due on August 7th
Moscow Weather Forecast for Early August 2025: Mostly Cloudy and Relatively Warm with Frequent Light Rains
Moscow and the surrounding area are set for a week of mostly cloudy and relatively warm conditions with frequent light to moderate rains, according to the latest weather forecast. The city is currently experiencing a transition period, with temperatures ranging between 20 to 25 °C during the day and 10 to 15 °C at night.
The atmospheric front is moving towards the Volga region, Nizhny Novgorod, and Tatarstan, bringing intermittent rain showers to these areas. In Moscow, rainfall will ease off, with the total amount of rain on Tuesday predicted to be significantly less than the day before, around 10 mm. However, light rain showers are expected almost daily, with Sunday being the exception, as it is forecasted to be mostly dry.
The weather pattern will be influenced by alternating pressure systems, with anticyclonic conditions contributing to some stable periods, while the presence of an Atlantic cyclone brings intermittent rain. The influence of the Atlantic cyclone is implied by the recurrent rains and variable cloudiness, typical of such systems bringing moist air and precipitation to the region.
On Wednesday, August 6, Moscow will experience periods of relatively stable, warm weather caused by a high-pressure anticyclone, leading to mostly cloudy but dry conditions between rain episodes. However, on Thursday, August 7, moderate rain is predicted during the day in the Moscow region, with light rain showers overnight.
The heavy rain that fell on August 4, 2025, was particularly intense in the southwestern part of the Moscow region, with the main weather station in Moscow at VDNKh recording 34 mm of rain, which is 43% of the monthly norm. In Narofominsk, 84 mm of rain fell in 24 hours on August 4, which is 130% of the August norm.
Wind speeds are generally gentle to moderate, with winds coming from the WNW or northwest, supporting the movement of these weather systems without strong wind events. No significant rain is predicted for Saturday, August 9, or Sunday, August 10.
In sum, expect a mix of variable cloudiness, frequent light rains, moderate temperatures, and mostly light winds in the coming week in Moscow due to the interplay of anticyclonic and Atlantic cyclone influences. This weather is typical for the late summer transition period in the region.
