Autumn comes on fast in Moscow, starting in mid-September. The mood in the city is one of slight resignation as everyone gets back to work after the excesses of the summer and gets ready for the onset of winter, but it's also the start of Moscow's cultural year, with a rush of premiers and openings after the summer hiatus to put some energy back into city life.
Late September may bring a week or more of what Russian's call "babe leto" - grandmother's summer - when Moscow's parks and boulevards are particularly beautiful, but by October the temperature will be dropping dramatically, and the first snows are soon on their way. They rarely settle at first so, as in spring, the city can become a little slushy, and tough shoes and an overcoat, plus hats, scarves and gloves are recommended.
