Now the weather in Dubna is fine and comfortable. The sky is
clear and bright blue. Smog disappeared absolutely and
visibility is very good. The wildfires in Dubna environs are
stopped completely. The temperature is about 29 - 32 C (day)/
16-20 C (night) and light breeze.
About the situation in Dubna
The local organizing committee and the International Advisory Board of the school
are closely following the developments of the situation with wildfires and
possible health hazards in the Moscow region, in particular concerning
Dubna, 120 km north of Moscow. They agree that a decision about a possible
shift, cancellation or the running as planned of the conference (and summer school)
shall be taken not before this weekend in order to be able to make a safer
prognosis. We are hoping very much that school and conference can be
performed as planned, with some precautions accounting for the heat and
air pollusion situation. We will inform you in time.
