The Ministry of Emergency Situations instructed drivers to maintain safe distances and avoid aggressive maneuvers on roadways. Mikhail Leus, the lead forecaster at the Phobos weather center, said the haze would persist through early Saturday morning as a weakening anticyclone influenced weather patterns. Temperatures were forecast to reach 9 to 11 degrees Celsius in St. Petersburg, and 7 to 12 degrees Celsius in surrounding areas. Winds would blow from the southeast at 3 to 8 meters per second, and atmospheric pressure would stabilize at 760 millimeters of mercury. Brief showers were expected on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 5.
