Recent forecasts from Russian meteorological services and international models indicate a high of 20–22°C in Moscow on August 30 under variable cloud cover, southerly flow, and possible light rain, which limits daytime solar heating and keeps values near late-August climatological norms of roughly 19–21°C. These conditions position 21°C as the most probable outcome in trader assessments, with 20°C and 22°C close behind due to minor model spreads in maximum temperature and boundary-layer mixing. No significant warm advection or clear-sky episodes appear likely to push readings higher, while the risk of under-20°C readings remains low absent stronger cooling. Updated model runs through the evening of August 29 will provide the final data ahead of market resolution.
