Moscow: The Russian capital, Moscow, and its surrounding areas recorded three new temperature records today. Mikhail Leus, a meteorologist at the Russian weather centre Phobos, reported significant temperature increases in the region.
According to Emirates News Agency, the temperature in Moscow reached +5.5 degrees Celsius this morning, surpassing the previous record for daily high temperatures in the city by 2.4 degrees. The previous record was set 102 years ago on 28th January, 1923. This marks a notable shift in the weather patterns for the city.
Leus added that Mozhaysk, a city in the Moscow region, also registered a new record for daily high temperatures, with the air temperature rising to +4.4 degrees Celsius. This surpassed the record for the same day in 2016, which was +2.6 degrees Celsius. This change reflects broader regional temperature trends being observed.
Additionally, the city of Kolomna, located in the Moscow region, recorded a new temperature high this morning. The temperature there exceeded the 2015 record of +3.8 degrees by 0.5 degrees. Such developments signal an ongoing pattern of increasing temperatures in the area.
