Moscow Weather and Moscow Climate Information
(Moscow, Central Federal District, Russia, RU)



The continental climate of Moscow can be quite clearly categorised as simply two seasons, summer and winter. Moscow's summer weather is surprisingly mild and appealing, while in the bitterly cold winter months, be prepared to bring plenty of warm clothes and fur-lined hats. However, if you're too cold, you can always drink some of the local Russian vodka to warm yourself up!
