"According to our forecasts, May is expected to be close to normal for the time being and there is no expected precipitation deficit," RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, Wilfand noted that April is likely to be dry due to low precipitation.

“So far, in April, only 20% of the norm has fallen - this is very little,” he said.

Earlier in Roshydromet reported that precipitation is not expected in Moscow this week.
