In terms of temperature, the first half of October will be slightly warmer, literally a positive deviation from the norm of 0.5 – 1 degrees, ”the expert said.

The norm of precipitation in Moscow at this time of the year is 59 millimeters, and temperatures – plus 8.2 degrees during the day and plus 2.1 degrees at night, added Tishkovets.
The meteorologist noted that at the beginning of the month the anticyclone will dominate the region, so there will be no strong wind, and the atmospheric pressure will be high. Also at this time of the year, frosts are possible, but one should not expect strong subzero temperatures, it is better to prepare for the golden autumn and sunny days, which are normal in October, there are only two, Tishkovets summed up.
