The temperature in Moscow reached 11.9 degrees Celsius (53.4 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday setting the first record in the fall of 2010, the Fobos meteorological center said.
"The record of 1952 when the temperature reached 11.7 degrees Celsius was beaten at 7.00 p.m. Moscow time," the center's spokesman said.
Moscow set 22 temperature records this summer and July 22 saw an absolute record of 38.2 C (100.7 F).
A scorching heat wave gripped the European part of Russia in mid-June, sparking wildfires and causing the worst drought in decades.
