Moscow braces for heatwave today – breaking 1917 record!

Russians are bracing for some of the hottest temperatures in more than a century today, with Moscow breaking a record set in 1917 and cities across the country seeing temperatures well above 35 degrees Celsius.

In Moscow, where temperatures can drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius during the legendary Russian winter, the mercury hit 32.7 degrees Celsius on July 3, breaking the 1917 record for that day by half a degree, according to the Phobos meteorological center.

According to the same source, corresponding records were broken in areas extending from the Russian Pacific coast to Siberia and the European parts of Russia.

The extremely hot weather has led to increased demand for air conditioners and fans, while Muscovites are consuming record amounts of ice cream and soft drinks. Passengers are being offered water on the subway and many trains.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin urged residents of the Moscow region, home to more than 20 million people, to take precautions and avoid travelling during the hottest hours of the day.

“During the day the air temperature will exceed the climatic average and rise above 30 degrees again.”– Sobyanin said.

According to him, storms are expected tomorrow with the possibility of hail.
