Forecaster warned of possible snow in the Moscow region this week

Light precipitation, including snow, is possible this week in the Moscow region and the northwestern regions of the capital. On April 1, Alexander Shuvalov, a weather forecaster, meteorologist, climatologist, and head of the Meteo forecasting center, told Izvestia.

"If there is snow, it will be northwest of Moscow, somewhere in the Tver region, maybe. Only the edge will touch Moscow and the Moscow region," the expert explained.

In addition, as the forecaster noted, the temperature on Sunday may drop to 5-7 degrees Celsius, which may contribute to possible snowfall. In addition, the weather forecaster warned that next week the temperature in Moscow will be lower than usual.
