Russians planning to enjoy the long holiday weekend from June 12th to 15th should be prepared for varied weather conditions across the country. While some regions will experience cooler temperatures and rain, others will maintain summer-like warmth.

Central Russia will see a significant shift from heat and sunshine to prolonged rains and winds. A large cyclone is expected to bring northerly winds and temperatures around +21… +23 degrees Celsius on June 12th and 13th. The second half of the weekend will be even cooler, with daytime temperatures dropping to +15… +18 degrees Celsius, accompanied by extended rains and north winds gusting up to 15 meters per second in Moscow, the Moscow region, and neighboring areas.

The Urals are also anticipating a transition from hot to cooler weather. A frontal zone will bring temperatures down to +21… +26 degrees Celsius, along with short-term rains.

In Siberia, summer weather is expected to persist. While short-term rains are possible, temperatures will generally remain around +25… +30 degrees Celsius.

The southern regions will experience a slight cooling trend. The heat, which previously reached +36… +38 degrees Celsius, is expected to subside, with temperatures dropping to +30… +32 degrees Celsius, except for the Astrakhan region, where high temperatures will linger before gradually decreasing. Rains, thunderstorms, and hail are anticipated in the Astrakhan region by the weekend, with temperatures falling to +25… +28 degrees Celsius. Crimea, Kuban, Stavropol, the Volgograd region, and the republics of the North Caucasus will enjoy precipitation-free weather with comfortable temperatures of +25… +28 degrees Celsius.

The Far East will experience low atmospheric pressure from June 11th to 13th. Yakutia, Primorye, the Kuril Islands, and Kamchatka will see rains, with heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and wind gusts of up to 13–18 m/s in some areas.
