[Regnum] A heavy downpour began again in Moscow on the evening of July 22. Eyewitnesses published footage from Red Square and other areas that were covered by the elements.
The city center is flooded the most. The rain is accompanied by sharp gusts of wind. The roads in Moscow are completely covered with water.
On the morning of July 22, leading specialist at the Phobos center Evgeny Tishkovets reported that the peak of showers in Moscow had passed and the next rains were expected to be less intense. The capital is expected to see short-term rains with an intensity of up to 8 mm, a thunderstorm is possible, the forecaster noted in his Telegram channel.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, heavy rainfall in Moscow and the Moscow region occurred on July 21. In some areas of the capital, a month's worth of precipitation fell at night and in the morning. The ceiling of the Paveletskaya Plaza shopping and entertainment complex collapsed due to the heavy rainfall.
The downpour that hit Moscow was the most powerful in recorded history since the mid-19th century.

Meteorologist: Moscow is experiencing serious climate change
Serious climate changes are taking place in the Russian capital. This was stated by the leading specialist of the Meteonovosti news agency Tatyana Pozdnyakova.
"In mid-July, Moscow is experiencing a new climate regime for the region. It is characterized by high humidity and periods of heat, alternating with tropical showers. Thus, from 9:00 p.m. on July 21 to 10:00 a.m. on July 22, the VDNKh weather station recorded humidity levels exceeding 90%," the expert told the Moscow city news agency.
According to the weather forecaster, a tropical downpour hit a number of Moscow districts this afternoon — about 50 mm of precipitation fell in an hour, which exceeds the climatic norm by tens of times. The expert emphasized that local summer showers are an unpredictable phenomenon. A cloud no more than 5–10 km in diameter can cause intense short-term rain. Thus, in Kuntsevo and Krylatskoye on July 22, about 50 mm of precipitation fell in an hour.
"This picture has been observed in the capital for several weeks, which indicates a stable trend towards climate change. In general, the weather in Moscow and Central Russia is now increasingly acquiring the features of southern tropical regions, which leads to an increase in the number of storms and showers with large amounts of precipitation," Pozdnyakova explained.
She added that tropical downpours are characterized by very high intensity. Such a flow of water quickly fills the streets and it takes much longer to eliminate the consequences of such heavy rainfall.
