The weather forecaster explained that a heat wave is a situation when the temperature exceeds the norm by five degrees or more, and the duration of such a period is more than five days.

“Now there will be three days of very hot weather, but it’s still not a wave of heat, because the duration is shorter,” RIA Novosti quotes Wilfanda.

Earlier, Gazeta.Ru reported that in Moscow on Tuesday, August 20, it is expected to reach +28 ° C.
