[Regnum] The period of unprecedented tropical rains has ended in Moscow, and atmospheric pressure will rise over the weekend. This was reported on July 26 by Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center.

"After unprecedented precipitation, truly tropical, which fully falls under this term, everyone is asking whether the period of such precipitation has ended. Yes, now we can say that it has," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The weather forecaster clarified that barometric conditions have changed and that atmospheric pressure will increase significantly over the weekend compared to the values observed over the past ten days.

Vilfand added that from July 26 the pressure will rise to normal values and the conditions for the formation of clouds, which always accompany cyclonic circulation, will disappear.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, leading specialist of the Meteonovosti news agency Tatyana Pozdnyakova stated that in mid-July, Moscow is experiencing a new climate regime for the region. According to her, it is characterized by high humidity and periods of heat, which are followed by tropical downpours.

The forecaster added that tropical downpours are characterized by very high intensity. During them, water quickly fills the streets, and it takes much longer to eliminate the consequences of such heavy rainfall.

Earlier, on July 22, a heavy downpour flooded the road near the Bagrationovskaya Moscow metro station. Due to the large amount of accumulated rainwater, people had to swim across the stream.
