“What we are seeing now does not belong to the category of heavy rains. Those rains that have passed and are, perhaps, will make up most of the monthly amount of precipitation, because until today only 11-12 mm fell in Moscow, but 7-8 mm fell overnight and up to 10 mm will fall in a day, so we these rains seemed heavy. The rain today will continue until 17 hours. It does not pour constantly, it comes intermittently ... After 17:00 the precipitation will stop, and the next night we have no precipitation, ”said the forecaster.

Pozdnyakova noted that intermittent rain in places will persist on Thursday, August 27, and Friday, August 28. 

“On Saturday we have no precipitation, the weather will be quite comfortable. No significant precipitation is expected on Sunday either. On Monday, just summer weather, the temperature in the city will exceed +25 ° С. These rains will benefit the city, because they will clear the air, beat down dust and partially reduce the fire hazard, ”she concluded.

Earlier it was reported that until Wednesday evening, August 26, strong wind and rain with a thunderstorm is expected in the Moscow region.
