In addition, the hot weather with short-term summer rains will continue over the weekend.

The forecaster warned that the current weather conditions could escalate into a dangerous phenomenon if the heat lasts longer than predicted.

"For now, we're just talking about hot weather, not a dangerous phenomenon. The criterion of dangerous heat is considered to be a temperature above +30 degrees, which persists for more than five consecutive days," the expert noted.

On July 2, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, predicted a return of temperature in Moscow to normal on July 8. He specified that the air in the capital will warm up to +23 ...+25 degrees.
