Unusually warm weather has seen mushrooms growing in forests near Moscow, a Russian meteorological website said on Friday.

"North Atlantic cyclones continue to send warm and humid air to the European part of Russia," the Meteonovosti website reported.

Temperatures in Moscow are currently 5-6 degrees Celsius (41-42.8 degrees Fahrenheit), with 6-8 degrees Celsius reported in the Moscow Region. This is some 9 degrees Celsius above the norm for this time of year.

Last year saw a temperature record for December, when the mercury in Moscow soared to 9.4 degrees Celsius.
