In Minsk, instead of completely shutting down heating during the warm spell, it was decided to switch the system to the 'most economical mode'. This was reported by the 'Minskenergo' organization.

Due to the warm weather, the heat transfer fluid is now supplied to the radiators at the lowest possible temperature and with reduced circulation. The organization noted that the water temperature in the system is about 70 degrees Celsius — this is the lowest limit that allows maintaining a normal level of heating.
Specialists explain that it is difficult to regulate heating temperature during the off-season: it is still cold at night, but significantly warmer during the day. The location of buildings also plays a role: rooms facing the sunny side can even be too hot.
In some regions of Belarus, heating has already started to be turned off, but in the capital, it has been decided to act more cautiously for now.
Usually, the full completion of the heating season occurs by decision of the city authorities. Heating in social institutions is turned off when the temperature stays above +10°C for three consecutive days, and in residential buildings — when it consistently stays above +8°C.
