Forecasts for Moscow and the surrounding area point to a week with notable swings in weather. Early next week is likely to be cold and snowy, creating a crisp start for residents and visitors alike. By midweek, conditions should ease and become more tolerable, offering a temporary respite from the chill. Then a push of wet weather and a warming trend is expected on Thursday, followed by a drop in temperatures as the week closes. The overall pattern suggests that the nicest weather will not arrive until later in the week, when skies clear and temperatures stabilize again. These projections come from assessments by an expert at the Phobos meteorological center, and they provide a practical view for planning daily activities, commutes, and outdoor routines in the coming days.
The expert notes that the forthcoming period will feature unstable weather in both temperature and atmospheric pressure. Autumn has arrived with variable conditions, and the window for consistently pleasant days appears to be narrow, centered around the middle of the week and the weekends when conditions may feel most comfortable. This variability means residents should be prepared for quick changes, especially when moving between sunlit stretches and cloud cover, as wind shifts can intensify the sense of chill or warmth from hour to hour. In practical terms, a light to moderate jacket or coat is advisable for daytime and evening outings, with an umbrella or rain gear handy for the day-to-day shifts that are typical of an autumn pattern.
On Monday and Sunday, the weather is expected to stay stubbornly inconsistent as a trailing weather system continues to influence the region. A northern flow will bring cool Arctic air, keeping temperatures a few degrees below seasonal norms. Brief bursts of precipitation, in the form of rain or a dusting of snow, may appear at times. Nighttime temperatures in the city are anticipated to dip near the freezing mark, while surrounding areas could see slightly colder readings. Daytime temperatures should hover in a range that feels cool but not extreme, with a gradual improvement expected as the week develops. Across the broader Moscow region, the spread between night and day can be pronounced, underscoring the importance of layering for comfort and safety outdoors.
