In Krasnoyarsk, heating shutoff date announced
The Skinny:It's been announced that heating in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, will be cut off on May 19, 2025, according to Mayor Vladislav Loginov. Residents have been whining about sweltering apartments even since late April, with complaints already piling up last year in early May.
Despite the numerous supporters advocating for the heating to be turned off, the city hall hasn't budged from its stance—the heating period ends when the average outdoor temperature remains above 8 degrees Celsius for five consecutive days. Interestingly, the heating was turned off earlier in 2024 (on the 12th of May) and the same scenario unfolded the previous year—people were literally roasting in their flats, well before May kicked off.

Some say it's global warming; others, it's their imagination running wild. But for most Krasnoyarkians, it's simply sweltering indoors. Complaints about the brutal heat in apartments have been doing the rounds since late April this year. But here's the twist—it's not just about Mother Nature showing off.
You're probably thinking—what the hell is going on? Well, there's a possibility it's due to ongoing infrastructure updates in the region. In 2025 alone, hundreds of meters of water, sewer, and heating networks are being replaced in the Krasnoyarsk region, resulting in costly reconstruction efforts to beef up water supply and heating systems[3]. These updates can sometimes cause temporary heat inconsistencies or overheating during the transition phase, causing residents to suffer from discomfort or oppressive heat.
So, here's to hoping for a comfortable transition period this time around!
"The ongoing infrastructure updates in the Krasnoyarsk region could lead to temporary heat inconsistencies or overheating, as residents have been experiencing sweltering indoor temperatures since late April. In light of this, it's important to keep an eye on the news for updates regarding the city's heating system, as well as the weather forecast to prepare for any changes in temperature."
"As the city hall continues its stance on ending the heating period when the average outdoor temperature remains above 8 degrees Celsius for five consecutive days, residents may find relief once the outdoor weather starts to cool down. Keeping an eye on the weather news will provide insights into when this might occur."
