22 Dec
Summary
- 2025 could be Moscow's warmest year in meteorological history.
- Average temperature exceeds benchmark +8.5 degrees Celsius.
- December's average temperature must not exceed -5 degrees Celsius.
Moscow is poised to record its warmest year in the history of meteorological observations. As of December 22, 2025, the year's average air temperature has surpassed the benchmark of +8.5 degrees Celsius, positioning it for a potential record.
Although the remaining ten days of 2025 include forecasts for two cold spells, these are unlikely to significantly lower the final average. The expert noted that December's average temperature is expected to range between -1.5 and -2.5 degrees Celsius.
To officially secure the warmest year title, the average temperature for the entire month of December must not fall below -5 degrees Celsius. Given the current projections, there is a strong likelihood that this historical record will be broken.
