“For the tenth year, we remember that for almost two weeks the temperature was at +34...+38°С, and it was dry.
This year it’s easier, it was about five degrees lower, but still the temperature has been +30 ... +32 ° С for about two weeks already, ”he explained the impossibility of repeating this anomaly.

The smell of burning for the second day is felt in a number of districts of Moscow on the morning of Thursday, August 18, including in the center of the capital.
Evgeny Tishkovets, an employee of the Phobos weather center, said that the reason for this was forest fires in the Ryazan region.
