There are only a few hours left before the start of a thunderstorm and strong wind in Moscow

Forecasters have warned residents of Moscow that on Saturday the hot weather will be replaced by rain with a thunderstorm and strong winds.

This will happen in the next 1-2 hours, Roshydromet predicts.

This will continue until 23:00.

Thunderstorms will pass in places in Moscow. Wind gusts will intensify to 15-17 m/s.

Those who are driving are advised to slow down as much as possible at the beginning of bad weather and be sure to increase the distance to the cars in front. Sudden maneuvers should be avoided and, if possible, cars should not be parked near trees.

For pedestrians, the recommendations are: avoid rickety structures and billboards.
