Earlier, meteorologist Alexander Ganshin, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, said in an interview with RT that the summer of 2023 will be one of the hottest in the history of meteorology.
Temperatures will generally be within the normal range in June, he said, but in mid to late summer across the country it will be hotter than usual.
"During this period, intense heat can come to the European part of Russia and southern Siberia. In the south of Siberia, July and August may be even hotter than last year by two to three degrees, "the source told RT.
