Experts have told us which soups and drinks make it easier to tolerate abnormal heat.

Despite the rainy weather, the temperature regime will be significantly higher than the climatic norm. The nights will become noticeably warmer — the minimum temperature in Moscow will be about +17 degrees, in the region from +12 to +17 degrees. The daytime temperature in the city will reach +27...+29 degrees, +25 degrees in the region...+29 degrees.

The expert explained that such indicators are already considered hot weather for Moscow.

"When the air temperature exceeds +25 degrees, we classify it as hot weather. For the Moscow region, the criteria are stricter — the weather is considered hot there above +30 degrees, so it cannot yet be said that a real heat wave has set in the region," the specialist noted.

According to Pozdnyakova, the abnormally warm weather will continue on Monday. So, the air temperature on Saturday, Sunday and Monday will exceed the climatic norm by about 5 degrees. From Tuesday, a gradual cooling down to seasonal values will begin.
