Saint Petersburg's Climate

Perched on the Gulf of Finland, Saint Petersburg has a humid continental climate softened by the sea, famous for cloud, wind and high humidity year-round. Winters (November to March) are long, cold and grey, usually -5 to -10°C with snow cover and very short days. Summers (June to August) are cool at around 20-23°C and bring the celebrated "white nights", when the high latitude keeps the sky from fully darkening.

Frequently asked questions

The white nights run from late May to mid-July, when the city's northern latitude keeps the sky in twilight rather than full darkness, peaking around the June solstice.

Is winter in Saint Petersburg cold and dark?

Very. Temperatures usually sit between -5 and -10°C with snow cover, and in December daylight lasts only about 5-6 hours under heavy cloud.

What is the best month to visit Saint Petersburg?

Yes, the city is cloudy and damp all year; rain falls in every season, peaking in late summer and early autumn, while winter brings snow.
