It's October, 12th, and we have +15C in the street, no rain for over a week.
We have peat swamps on fire around Moscow. We had such things in August of 1972 and 2002, after extremely hot and rainless summers. But now it's a middle of October, usually we have first snow at this time already. I remember some years when we had first snow (not permanent) in September.
I smell the smoke from that burning peat in the street. Visibility is limited to 500m at some places. I can see the smog in the street... Airports still function in normal regime, but I think they'll soon operate in "limited visibility" mode.
First I thought that we live to "old" Julian calendar, Church uses it (Christmas on January 7th here), it's still Sept 30th according to "old style", 13 days difference in XXI century. But even for Sept 30th +15C is too hot. It's OK for me, only if Spring will not be delayed as Autumn.
