Moscow is bracing for significant rainfall during the holiday weekend, with expectations that a third of the month’s average precipitation will fall on the capital. This deluge is attributed to a high-altitude anticyclone bringing adverse weather conditions.

The inclement weather is expected to ease as Sunday, June 15 approaches. Brief periods of sunshine are anticipated, allowing temperatures to climb to between +20 and +22 degrees Celsius.

The week ahead promises a respite from the rain, with temperatures gradually increasing to between +21 and +26 degrees Celsius.

Looking ahead to Monday, June 16, Moscow anticipates variable cloudiness and daytime temperatures exceeding +23 degrees Celsius.

Tuesday, June 17, is forecast to be dry, with nighttime temperatures ranging from +14 to +16 degrees Celsius and daytime temperatures reaching a comfortable +20 degrees Celsius.

A slight cooling trend is expected on Wednesday, June 18, with a maximum daytime temperature of +16 degrees Celsius.

Thursday, June 19, will usher in a return to rainy conditions, with temperatures hovering around +14 degrees Celsius both day and night. This spell of unfavorable weather is predicted to persist through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with average daily temperatures remaining below +20 degrees Celsius.

The recent rainy weather has led to an early mushroom season in the Moscow region.
