The Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement, Pyotr Biryukov, said that the heating temperature in houses had been raised in the capital to maximum values, RIA Novosti reported.

“Severe frosts have come to the capital region, in connection with this, city services in advance began to gradually raise the temperature of the coolant in the heat supply system. At present it is maximum and is 130 degrees, "Biryukov said.

He noted that the increase or decrease in temperature in the heating system is not carried out at once - it is a gradual process that takes time.

“We receive forecasts of forecasters in advance, on the basis of which a decision is made to increase or decrease the temperature in the heating system. Regulation of heat supply is provided by two main parameters - by lowering or increasing the temperature of the coolant and increasing or decreasing its volume, ”explained Biryukov.

It became known earlier that cloudiness, light snow and up to -18 ° C are expected in Moscow on Tuesday.
