Warm but rainy weather is expected in Moscow this week. Alexander Shuvalov, head of the Meteo forecasting center, told Izvestia about this on May 12.

According to him, the fog that is observed today will dissipate in the afternoon, after which the temperature will be set at +20...+23 degrees from Wednesday.

"On Friday and Saturday, the capital will be covered by rains, sometimes quite intense. During precipitation, the temperature can drop to +16...+18 degrees, but during periods without rain, the air will warm up again to +21...+23 degrees," the expert explained.

As the forecaster noted, such indicators exceed the climatic norm for mid-May by 3-5 degrees.
