Heavy rains accompanied by local thunderstorms have occurred during the
last few days in Moscow and the central regions of the European USSR.
The Central Institute of Weather Forecastinr gave the following explana-
tion for this type of weather:
Cool, rainy weather was caused by the formation of a vast cyclone which
gripped the central regions of the European USSR. This cyclone, contrary
to the custom of most cyclones, moved very slowly and gradually abated.
The cyclone caused an invastion of cold air masses from the Barents Sea,
which spread out in the southern regions of the European USSR. On 7 July,
the temperature in Moscow was 11 degrees above zero. This is a rare occur-
rence for this time of the year.
Strongly rising air currents were observed in the zone of the cyclone.
Meanwhile, the rising air cooled off, thus leading to the formation of the
dense cloudiness and heavy rains of the last few days.(].)
