Weather reviews

I advise everyone to travel here in May. Starting from mid-summer, prices almost double in comparison with the end of spring. Everything is more expensive, even food and excursions are becoming more expensive. And in May, relaxation is no worse. Probably the only negative that you can think of is that the water is still a bit cold. But this is also +17 degrees. As for me, swimming like this is tolerable, but it is refreshing. The air warms up to +21-23. Sometimes there were rains with thunderstorms, but not particularly prolonged.

In February I was on holiday in Turkey, Antalya. I chose this time for the trip because vacation prices were low then and the weather promised to be mild. In fact, the weather was quite changeable: it was cool in the morning and evening, and warm in the afternoon. I liked that there was no rain, but sometimes the wind blew. This weather is ideal for beach holidays and excursions. Overall, my experience in Antalya in February was pleasant and memorable. If I were planning my trip again, I would probably choose March, when there is a combination of pleasant weather and affordable prices.

In my opinion, at the beginning of June Budva is not very suitable for a beach holiday. The temperature was 24°C, the days were mostly sunny, you can sunbathe, but the sea is cool, about 22°C and the entry into the water is steep, there are boulders here and there, you need to be careful. When the sun went down, it became cooler. And it’s a beautiful area with beautiful views of the mountains and the sea. I was especially inspired by the Old Town, with its cute streets and blooming gardens.

This year I visited Antalya, Turkey in March and chose this time to vacation because of the lower prices and more pleasant weather compared to the hot summer. The weather at this time was changeable. It was cool in the morning and evening, sunny and warm in the afternoon. Despite the occasional rain, I liked that the beaches and attractions were less crowded with tourists, creating a more relaxed holiday atmosphere. Overall, my experience in Antalya in March was pleasant and memorable, and I would love to return to this place again, perhaps in April, to avoid the rains.

Last year in October I vacationed in Kemer, in Turkey. October in Kemer is still quite warm and very suitable for a beach holiday. The sun is no longer so hot and you don’t have to worry about burns and sunstroke. But the water is still warm enough for swimming. In addition, the flow of tourists at this time is decreasing, the beaches are not so crowded and you can check into a hotel without any problems. Generally speaking, I enjoyed my vacation.

Last year I vacationed in the UAE in Fujairah. The vacation was in May. At this time of year it is quite hot in Fujairah, the thermometer always showed over 30, sometimes even over 40. A clear advantage in this weather is warm water and the opportunity to swim from morning to night. There is no rain here at all in May, it is sunny all the time. You need to be careful in the sun and wear a hat to avoid getting sunstroke. But overall I liked it.

Egypt's most popular resort, Sharm El Sheikh. We vacationed there in July. The trip was unforgettable. The Red Sea is great! We made a trip to the capital of Egypt, Cairo. We went on excursions, visited the pyramids of Giza, admired the mysterious Sphinx. We all liked the holidays; relaxing is always fun and good. As for the weather, you can put it this way - very hot. This month in Egypt, and even more so in Sharm el-Sheikh, is always very hot. But if you are always near the sea, on the beach, then you don’t feel the heat very much, since you are constantly swimming in the water. During the day it was from + 35 to + 38 degrees. At lunchtime it’s already +38. At this time we left the beach and returned after 15-00. Because the sun is very active during this period. We were warned that, especially during this interval, it is possible to get sunburn and heatstroke. You probably won’t be able to take a walk somewhere, even in the evening, since the air is very humid and there’s practically nothing to breathe. You constantly have to be indoors, where there are air conditioners. At night the temperature ranged from + 27 to + 29 degrees. But regardless of this, the holiday was amazing. The sea is well warmed up during this period and is conducive to long swimming. The weather on vacation did not cause us any disappointment. We had a wonderful vacation, a lot of impressions.

Last year in March the weather in Sochi was very cool. I escaped from the St. Petersburg snow into real spring. Even clouds and rain did not spoil the rest. There were only 2 rainy days out of the week. In the sun, the air sometimes warmed up to +18-20 degrees, and I stripped down to my T-shirt. The rest of the time, a thin sweater or a light jacket over a T-shirt was enough. In the evenings, however, we had to warm ourselves when it was only +8-10. But anyway, it only gets SO warm here towards the end of May!

It’s not such a great season to go to Anapa on vacation in February: it’s also cold, also frosty. Yes, warmer than here. The temperature was both +5 and +9 when I was visiting relatives. But there were days of -4-6 degrees. It was either wet snow or rain. At night at the beginning and middle of the month there is a stable minus. At the end of spring and beginning of summer, it’s a completely different matter, but winter, even though it’s southern, is still winter, IMHO. I did not like.

Istanbul is interesting all year round! It may be too early to go here for a beach holiday in May, but you can already swim here if you are not afraid of the cold. The water is definitely +16 degrees. I personally swam. Yes, it’s cold to get in and out of the water, but you can dry out and warm up in the sun. During the day the average is about +20, at night a light jacket will not hurt. Holidays at the hotel are luxurious: few people, heated swimming pools, extensive excursion program and shopping.
