For all those who are currently suffering from the heat in their Moscow apartments, forecasters have prepared a good gift - there is only a little bit of suffering left. Cool weather will come to the region this weekend, the head of the Meteo forecasting center, Alexander Shuvalov , promises Novye Izvestia:

— The temperature will start to drop from the west on the weekend — Smolensk, Bryansk, Tver. The main contribution to the temperature drop will be short-term rains, growth of cumulonimbus clouds. By Monday, this entire zone of intense convective movements will already touch Moscow and Tula and will move to the east.

The thirty-degree heat will gradually go away. On Sunday in Moscow it could still be 30-31 degrees, the meteorologist says, but 35-36 degrees is no longer even a question. Monday will be marked by temperatures definitely below +30.

However, another danger awaits residents of the capital region. Along with the cool weather, showers, hail and strong winds are coming to Moscow. Precipitation will be abnormal in places.

- They are not widespread, but sometimes, why go far for examples, the same Sheremetyevo two or three days ago gave a wind speed of up to 30 meters per second. Intensive convection sometimes locally gives very negative results. These can be heavy rains and hail. We also had hail against the background of high temperatures, and here it will go away gradually, washed away by these rains, - the expert warns.

For vacationers who decided to enjoy the sun and sea, weather forecasters have only one piece of advice - go, you won't regret it. Those who are not afraid of flight delays at airports due to Ukrainian drones or choose to travel to the sea by car will enjoy wonderful resort weather on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and in Crimea.

- Oh, it's beautiful there! 25-30 degrees, maybe 31-32 in Sochi. A classic. Yes, there are isolated light rains, yes, they sometimes threaten tornadoes in the Adler area, but this does not complicate the situation much, - assures Alexander Shuvalov.

In mid-summer, the Russian Valley emerged from the "cold bag " that Novye Izvestia reported. The situation has smoothed out, and now there are no deafening rains or stifling heat. In Siberia, high temperatures are observed only in the Far North. Unexpectedly, the record-breaker was Cape Chelyuskin and Evenkia, where the air warms up to 30 degrees. In the south of Siberia, the climate norm is from 21 to 26 degrees.

The only areas where there are no positive changes and none are expected are in the Russian breadbasket. Forecasters warn that there will be no big harvest in the Rostov Region and Krasnodar Krai. The temperature here will drop from 37-39 degrees to 30-32 , but rain is not expected.

— There will be an average harvest. The shortfall will primarily be in the southern regions, the main grain-growing ones, because there has been a shortfall of precipitation since autumn. These are things to which we need to adapt, switch to drought-resistant varieties. But that is precisely why they will have a shortfall, — Alexander Shuvalov makes his forecast.
