"A giant blocking anticyclone, which in meteorology is sometimes called a" greenhouse cauldron ", has established itself in the entire thickness of the troposphere and ... will last up to 12 days," the Meteovesti portal cites a message from the Phobos weather center.

According to the center, in the second half of July, precipitation will return to Moscow, but the monthly norm for the amount of rain will be fulfilled only by 50%.

"July 2021 will inscribe itself in meteorological history as one of the driest in the last 55 years," the center said, noting that the current July will be a record dry.

Earlier, the head of the forecast center "Meteo" Alexander Shuvalov, in an interview with RT, commented on the forecast of hot weather in Moscow.
