Weather for Moscow

Best time to visit:

The high summer months of July and August are peak season in Moscow and a reasonable time to visit, although the city can be crowded and sometimes uncomfortably warm at this time of year. It can also be surprisingly wet. If circumstances permit, the early summer months of May or June, or early autumn, are generally better choices. Winter is best avoided altogether, although a cover of fresh snow does serve to give the city an undeniably romantic atmosphere.

So if a day is forecast to be sunny with the possibility of a brief shower, then we will see a sunny or partly cloudy symbol rather than a rain cloud.
