Don't rush to change winter tires: Hydrometcenter warns of icy conditions in Moscow

The capital is expected to experience precipitation, icy conditions, and a cold snap, which could make summer tires dangerous

Precipitation, icy conditions, and a drop in temperature are expected in Moscow and the region in the coming days, so motorists should not yet change their winter tires to summer tires. This was stated by the Hydrometcenter.

Although the temperature remains positive during the day, it is negative at an altitude of 1–1.5 km, which means that the snow does not have time to melt and falls as wet snow, creating conditions for icy conditions.

The weather forecaster recommended waiting at least five to six days before changing tires, until the situation on the roads stabilizes.
