Spurs Record-Breaking
Weather in Moscow
A
heat wave that hit Moscow on Wednesday broke a 117-year-old weather
record, forecasters said.
Temperatures
in the capital reached 28.6 degrees Celsius by 1 p.m. and broke the
city's record temperature for June 4, Russia's meteorological center
said on its website. On this day in 1897, Moscow recorded a
temperature of 27.9 degrees C.
The
meteorological center earlier said that temperatures could reach
between 28 and 30 degrees C.
Muscovites
will have the opportunity to bask in the sun for the rest of the
week, as temperatures are expected to reach up to 31 degrees C on
Friday and Saturday, the weather agency said Wednesday on its
website. The record for June 5 is 30.4 degrees C, set in 1988.
Local
authorities announced earlier this week a plan to distribute bottled
water to commuters at several of the city's metro stations if
temperatures exceed 28 degrees C
