Leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, Evgeniy Tishkovets, reported this on his Telegram channel. According to him, up to 34–36 millimeters of precipitation will fall in Moscow, which is almost half of the monthly precipitation norm. The reason for this will be the arrival of an active cold atmospheric front with waves. “Showers of such rapidity are equivalent to several hundred million cubic meters of water falling on the metropolis, which will certainly lead to significant flooding. This volume of rain moisture is comparable to the water reserve of Lake Pleshcheevo,” the forecaster emphasized. According to him, on June 20 in Moscow the precipitation record, which currently belongs to 2015, may be broken. At the same time, thunderstorm activity, hail, and wind gusts will reach 22 meters per second are expected in the capital. At the same time, in the south, east and southeast of the Moscow region there is a possibility of tornadoes. The bad weather will leave the capital region on the night of June 21, Tishkovets added. As Regnum reported, on June 8, the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, predicted a warm summer in Russia with rather changeable weather. Temperatures are expected to be above normal in the northern and European parts of the country. At the same time, weather forecasters promised that from June 17 there will be thunderstorms in Moscow, due to which up to 30 mm of precipitation may fall in the capital.
