Russia unparalleled

The scorching weather that settled in Russia this summer has been unparalleled for at least 1,000 years, RBC news agency reported on Monday, citing an expert as saying.

Head of Russia's weather monitoring agency, Rosgidromet, Alexander Frolov said that the steady heatwave by itself can be neither evidence nor refusal of the theory of he global warming.

"Climate has been turning more nervous," Frolov noted.

Still, he pointed out the climate pattern of 2010 has no analog in Russian written history, which is for as long as 1,000 years the archived records are available.

On Monday, one more historical temperature maximum was reached in Moscow - temperature exceeded by one degree the previous record set in 1893. On Sunday, another 78-year-old record was beaten by four degrees when temperature reached 36.1 degree Celsius, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Still, Russia's Emergency Situations Minister Serhei Shoigu believed that there were no reasons to declare the state of emergency in Moscow.

"We should calmly and professionally inform people about what is going on," the minister told Interfax news agency on Monday.

The heat and wildfires forced Russian strategic missal forces to correct their deployment plans for the ground mobile routes, a Defense Ministry spokesman told Interfax.

Meanwhile, Moscow's authorities ordered to limit the sales of respiratory masks "to avoid speculations," Andrei Seltsovsky from the city's Health Department told local media.

According to the officials, some people bought the masks in bulks, re-selling them with sevenfold mark-up.
