After this summer's unprecedented heatwave, temperatures in Russia are breaking records again. Several regions, including the capital, are experiencing extremely warm weather, unheard of at this time of year.

Muscovites have been enjoying the last few days, with the weather allowing them to walk without warm coats.

Temperatures in the capital on Saturday are expected to reach 10C, while earlier in the week they topped 14C. Usually the temperature would be around -1C.

Just five years ago, people could skate on the Moscow River in November, but that has not been the case since then.

Taking a trip down memory lane even further to 1941, during World War II, the fuel was freezing in the tanks in November.

Now, some reports say that flowers are about to bloom once again in several Russian regions.

This, as expats in Moscow are tracking snow in vain, with many remembering how the record-breaking summer heat resulted in devastating forest fires that suffocated the city in a blanket of smog.

Chief executive of the World Wildlife Fund in Russia, Igor Chestin, blames global warming.

“The way we actually observe climate change is not really through warming as such, but much more through the frequency and the severity of abnormal weather events like we have now, or like we had in summer in Central Russia, or as people in South America had this summer. These are events caused by misbalance in the global climate system,” Chestin told RT.

  • While there are some who logically understand the consequences of the gulf disaster. Not to mention the total lack of respect for nature and it's processes. Some are still grasping at straws trying to cover the sun with a finger.

    The UK is experiencing ridiculously low temperatures and heavy snowfall. Giving those who wish to push there agenda for global warming plenty of ammunition. No doubt to facilitate the ramming of elevated taxes and restrictions down the throats of the working class. While the oil companies ,the Corporations and the governments that protect them, reap all the benefits at the expense of the global environment!
