Weather analysts from the Meteonovosti agency report that Moscow will start the week cooler than average. The early days show air temperatures running about six to eight degrees below the climatological norm, before gradually moving back toward seasonal averages. This shift suggests a period of notably cold mornings and cool afternoons as residents adjust to a winter pattern that already feels brisk for the season, according to Meteonovosti.
