“There is a record. Already +7.1 ° С, and in 1925 it was +5.2 ° С. But it is still not clear what the record will be at the end of the day: in Kingisepp (Leningrad Oblast) it is already over +8 ° С, ”Interfax quotes the words of the chief weather forecaster of the northern capital Alexander Kolesov.
He noted that the warming is caused by a cyclone and will not stay in the city for long.
