Forecast data released for Monday, July 24 indicate temperatures in Moscow and the surrounding area may rise to around +20°C. The day will bring a mix of clouds and clear spells, with intermittent rain possible according to the Russian Hydrometeorological Center. Residents should be prepared for changing conditions as the sky toggles between sun and showers.
During the daytime, meteorologists expect the air to hover around +18 to +20°C. A light to moderate southwest wind is forecast, blowing at 6 to 11 meters per second. This breeze may make some moments feel cooler, especially in exposed areas, so a light jacket could be handy for outdoor activities.
As evening approaches and into the night, temperatures will ease to about +13 to +15°C. The southwest wind is likely to continue at a similar strength, maintaining a breezy feel through the late hours. Those outdoors at night can anticipate crisp air, which often makes late summer evenings feel refreshing after a warm day.
Atmospheric pressure is expected to be around 742 millimeters of mercury day and night, indicating a stable weather pattern with no dramatic pressure changes on the horizon. Such conditions typically align with gentle weather shifts rather than sudden storms.
Roman Vilfand, who previously served as the scientific director at the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, noted that the current pattern of summer weather is set to return to Moscow and the surrounding region this week. This perspective reflects adjustments in atmospheric circulation that often drive periods of warm, comfortable weather after cooler spells. His assessment provides a framed expectation for residents planning outdoor activities and travel in the near term.
Earlier in the season, Vilfand had described a transition he called a thermal blast moving from Europe toward Turkey. That broad-scale thermal movement helps explain fluctuations in regional temperatures and how continental air masses interact with the local climate in Moscow and adjacent areas. Such discussions are useful for understanding why certain days feel notably warmer or cooler than others and why rain events may appear unexpectedly amid otherwise sunny conditions.
In other news for the region, two men experienced a curious incident in Krasnoyarsk while using an inflatable pool. The event underscores how everyday moments can become memorable when summer heat has a way of inviting creative, if unconventional, ways to cool down. It also serves as a reminder to consider safety and practicality when choosing cooling activities during warm spells, especially in parks and public spaces where families and visitors gather to beat the heat.
