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. This page offers an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV index and air quality (AQI).
