Forecasts for Moscow signal a modest warming trend next week, though the overall picture remains wintry and brisk. The weather service expects nightly temperatures around minus 10 degrees Celsius, with daytime readings hovering between minus 3 and minus 9 degrees. Yet the pattern is not gentle; strong winds and snowfall are on the horizon, creating blizzard-like conditions at times. Over the weekend, snowdrifts could reach about half a meter, a depth more commonly seen in late winter than in early spring. The head of Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center reminded residents that these drifts will not erase the chill, and the overall temperature anomaly will stay below average for the season.
