Forecaster Ilyin warned of an increase in atmospheric pressure over the weekend. On Friday night, temperatures of -18...-23 °C are expected in Moscow.

Another wave of warm air will arrive on Sunday. Earlier, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, spoke about the rare ‘winter heat’ in the Urals and Western Siberia. He warned that the weather will be clear, with very little snow in some places, and the roads will remain icy.
