Due to worsening weather conditions in Moscow, the administrations of the capital's parks have decided to temporarily close.

As BAKU.WS reports with reference to Russian media, management has suspended visitor access to the territory and canceled all planned events.

Similar safety measures have been taken by the administrations of "Fili" Park, "Krasnaya Presnya" Park, and Gorky Park.

Due to strong winds, the operation of the "Air Tram" cable car at VDNKh has also been suspended. The attraction will not function until weather conditions improve. Meanwhile, the "Sun of Moscow" Ferris wheel at VDNKh continues to operate normally.

According to the forecast of Evgeny Tishkovets, an expert from the "Phobos" weather center, on Friday, March 14, Moscow will be hit by a storm with a magnitude of 9 points.
