Forecast models point to another stretch of unusually high temperatures across several regions of Russia next week, according to Roman Vilfand, the scientific director at the Russian Hydrometeorological Center. The update from DEA News emphasizes a continued heat trend as analysts anticipate heat waves intensifying in parts of the country. Weather teams are preparing for days of extreme heat with potential health and infrastructure impacts, especially in highly populated areas and regions with limited cooling options.
Specifically, officials forecast that Astrakhan, Volgograd, and Rostov will experience daytime highs of about 40–42°C in the coming sequence, while the Krasnodar region could see temperatures ranging from 39–41°C. Such conditions push energy demand for cooling higher and raise concerns about heat-related stresses on vulnerable populations, workers outdoors, and agricultural sectors. Civil defense and health agencies are likely to issue advisories aimed at reducing heat exposure and ensuring access to hydration and cooling centers where available. These projections are issued with continued attention to regional humidity and heat indices, which can intensify the perceived warmth beyond the raw temperature figures.
In eastern Siberia, forecasts show extreme cold in some areas, with Buryatia expecting around -37°C and Transbaikalia predicting a range of -39 to -41°C. The Amur region’s southern areas are also anticipated to reach -35 to -36°C. Such diurnal contrasts across the country underscore the broad variability in Russia’s climate from week to week, a pattern that meteorologists monitor closely to advise communities on safety, clothing, heating, and energy use across diverse environments. The placement of cold snaps amid a larger warming trend complicates seasonal planning for infrastructure, food supply chains, and emergency services, prompting ongoing analysis by national weather agencies and regional authorities.

Meanwhile, forecasts for Moscow indicate a temporary return of abnormal warmth, followed by a notable cooling shift in early July. Forecasters expect daytime temperatures to hover between 24°C and 26°C with night lows around 14°C to 16°C from July 6 to July 7, signaling a swing from heat to more moderate conditions. Such shifts can influence electricity demand, urban microclimates, and outdoor activity planning for residents and visitors, who may need to adapt quickly to changing conditions and varying humidity levels. Officials encourage residents to stay informed through official weather updates as fluctuations continue to unfold. [Source: Russian Hydrometeorological Center via DEA News]
Looking further ahead, meteorologists from the Phobos weather center note that the cold front currently affecting Moscow is expected to be followed by a high-pressure anticyclone. This pattern change could stabilize temperatures temporarily, but it also means rapid shifts in wind patterns and air quality in urban centers. The public is advised to monitor updates because transitions like these can influence everything from daily commutes to air quality advisories and heat-risk messaging.

Throughout the regions, officials have already warned residents to anticipate heavy rainfall and hurricane-like storms in some zones, underscoring the broader weather volatility facing the country. Preparedness measures include checking drainage systems, securing outdoor items, and paying close attention to official alerts during periods of intense rainfall or strong winds. Citizens are urged to respect weather warnings and adjust plans accordingly to safeguard health and property as the pattern of extreme and rapidly changing weather persists across multiple parts of Russia.
