Night frosts have once again gripped the Moscow region, even as daytime temperatures climb to +22 degrees Celsius. Meteorologists consider such temperature fluctuations typical for autumn, predicting the arrival of «Indian summer» after the first significant cold snap.
For the second consecutive night, Moscow and the surrounding region are experiencing sub-zero temperatures; last night, the air dropped to -1 degree. However, daytime warmth is expected to persist almost until the end of next week, as noted by Meteoweb weather observer Alexey Safonov.
He explains that clear skies and long nights contribute to the cooling of ground-level air, leading to low morning temperatures, sometimes around zero or +3 degrees in certain areas of the region. This is a normal phenomenon for late autumn. Throughout the upcoming week, daytime temperatures in Moscow and the Moscow region will reach 20-22 degrees, while nights will remain cool, dropping to +10 degrees in the city center and +3-7 degrees in the wider region. Heavy fogs are also anticipated in the mornings and evenings due to abundant dew, reducing visibility to 150-200 meters. Overall, the weather aligns with climatic norms.
According to forecasters, the «Indian summer» has not yet begun and is expected later, following a substantial drop in temperatures. Moscow has also recorded a new daily high for atmospheric pressure, reaching 762 millimeters of mercury on Sunday morning, according to the Fobos weather center.
