Next week in Moscow is forecast to bring warm, comfortable nights and increasingly hot days. According to RIA Novosti, the scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, Moscow can expect nighttime temperatures to climb to around 19 degrees Celsius during the warmest hours. The early part of the week looks clear of extremes, but the nights will feel noticeably mild and can influence outdoor plans, especially for those staying up late or enjoying late summer strolls.
On Sunday night, the city is anticipated to experience a shift in air circulation from the southwest, which tends to push warmer air into the capital. In the sleeping areas of Moscow, night readings could settle between 14 and 16 degrees, while in the city center readings may rise to 17–19 degrees. The forecast has prompted some locals to describe the upcoming nights as tropical in character, a term used by Moscow 24 to convey the unusually warm, muggy feel that can accompany this pattern.
Looking ahead, the daily high temperatures are expected to trend upward beginning Tuesday, July 4, with daytime readings in the mid-20s to the upper 20s Celsius. Specifically, Moscow could see daytime warmth in the range of 24 to 28 degrees, a level that may persist through the remainder of the work week. Such temperatures are typical for a summer in the city, but the combination with mild nights may influence daily routines, energy use, and outdoor activity planning for residents and visitors alike.
Additionally, meteorologists note that long-range trends for July point to a continuing period of heat, with average monthly air temperatures likely to exceed long-term norms by approximately 1.5 to 2 degrees. This means that the hotter phase may become more pronounced in the second half of July, and on several days thermometers could approach or surpass the 30-degree mark in some areas. While many residents welcome sunny warmth, heat management and hydration remain important, and city services often adjust to higher demand during peak heat periods.
