Forecast for the month in Moscow and regions

Earlier, on January 28, leading expert of the weather center "Phobos" Mikhail Leus told "Izvestia" that in January the temperature is higher than the climatic norm because this year the high frontal zone is located in the areas of the Arctic coast of the Russian Federation and cyclones, passing mainly by northern routes, brought warm air from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean instead of cold air.
