A forecast update from the Russian Hydrometeorological Center indicates a warm spell ahead for the Moscow region. Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-20s Celsius in the coming days, with a notable increase in warmth across nearby areas. The forecast comes from the center’s scientific director, who notes a shift toward more comfortable conditions by the weekend. In the city of Moscow, daytime temperatures should reach roughly 22 to 24 degrees, while the broader Moscow region could see values around 25 degrees. Source: TASS.
Looking ahead, the weather is described as sunny, with variable cloudiness that could break into clearer skies at times. Short-lived rainfall is anticipated to occur only in isolated places, not affecting the entire region. This pattern is expected to persist through the weekend, providing pleasant conditions for outdoor activities and travel. Source: TASS.
Earlier projections warned of heavy rain along parts of the European side of Russia. Specific districts such as Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk, Oryol, Lipetsk, Voronezh, and Tambov were flagged for potential heavy downpours on the 26th and 27th of June. In addition, the Chelyabinsk region might experience thunderstorms accompanied by large hail and wind gusts up to 25 meters per second, while Stavropol and Krasnodar Territories could see thunderstorms. These alerts underscore the need for local updates and caution for residents planning outdoor activities during those days. Source: TASS.
A separate advisory indicates an immediate fire danger in several northern and eastern regions, including Yakutia, the Khabarovsk Territory, the Magadan Region, and parts of Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Kostroma, and the Komi Republic. The convergence of dry conditions and heat raises the risk, especially in areas with open landscapes and limited rainfall. Residents across these zones were urged to stay vigilant and follow regional warnings. Source: TASS.
Separately, a note appears about a long-standing caffeine myth being challenged by ancient scientists. While this line may seem unrelated to weather, it reflects a broader pattern of reexamining common beliefs with fresh evidence. It serves as a reminder that even widely accepted ideas can be questioned and tested. Source: TASS.
