A yellow weather hazard has been issued for the Moscow region due to strong winds, according to Moscow 24. The warning remains in effect for the suburbs until noon on April 14, with gusts reaching up to 15 meters per second in exposed areas. Meteorologists emphasize that such winds can make travel hazardous, raise the risk of falling branches, and complicate outdoor activities in parks and along coastal stretches of the area. Local authorities are advising residents to secure loose objects, check on vulnerable neighbors, and plan travel with extra caution as these conditions persist.
Earlier today, Roman Vilfand, the scientific director at the Hydrometeorological Center of the Russian Federation, explained that a sharp cold front is expected to sweep through the capital on the evening of April 13. Temperatures are forecast to retreat to seasonal norms as the air mass shifts, bringing a noticeable drop from daytime warmth to more typical spring levels. Weather observers note that by the night of April 13, a cooling trend will begin, and the city should prepare for a cooler period as the week progresses.
Looking ahead, forecasters expect the cool spell to continue into April 14, with temperatures dipping to around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. The forecast hints at a brief pause in the cooling for a portion of Friday, but the overall trend remains cooler than the early days of the week. The upcoming weekend, including Saturday, April 15, is forecast to see a rise in temperatures back into the same 8 to 10 degree range, offering a modest improvement for outdoor activities and daily routines, though residents should still expect a cool breeze and variable cloud cover.
In a separate update, Podmoskovye Segodnya recalls public statements from Alexander Shuvalov, head of the Meteo forecasting center, who previously promised residents and visitors to the capital a break from winter-like conditions for Easter. He projected daytime temperatures near 12 degrees Celsius, with a light northeast wind and atmospheric pressure around 755 millimeters of mercury. Such conditions would create a pleasant backdrop for holiday celebrations, though the meteorologists warned that spring weather can be unpredictable and urged people to keep an eye on the latest forecasts for any shifts in wind, precipitation, or temperature patterns.
Throughout the current spell of unsettled weather, residents are encouraged to monitor official sources for updates and to prepare for possible fluctuations in wind strength and temperature. The combination of gusty winds, rapid shifts in air mass, and seasonal temperature swings can affect outdoor work, commuting, and recreational plans. Authorities remind the public that accurate, up-to-date information helps people make safer choices, from dressing in layers to securing outdoor items and planning alternate routes when strong winds threaten travel conditions. The coming days will reveal whether the cooler air settles in briefly or proves to be a longer-lasting feature of the regional forecast, and residents should remain vigilant for any changes in advisories or warnings issued by meteorological services.
