Weather reviews

In January, I visited a prestigious resort, where I spent a couple of weeks of relaxation. Usually the air temperature this month is about fifteen degrees. It often rains, this is typical for these places. I had the opportunity to swim in the heated pool. In addition, I visited a ski resort and took part in hiking. This is a great time for a vacation, despite the not-so-warm weather conditions.

In January of this year I spent a vacation with my family in Anapa. Throughout the month, the air temperature remained around ten to eleven degrees Celsius. Sunny and cloudy days were evenly distributed. It rained five times in a month. A moderate wind of 5 meters per second was constantly blowing. You understand that swimming in such weather is not possible, but taking air baths and enjoying the sea breeze on the shore is quite acceptable and healthy.

I enjoyed my August holiday here. It was warm, sunny and mostly dry. For August, 34-35 degrees is the norm. That’s why I was even happy when the clouds rolled in, that I could hide from the sun for a while. In the sea here, by the way, you won’t be particularly cool, the water is +30! Many people were afraid of rain before the trip, but it rained just once or twice - that’s all. Apparently, it rains more in August in some other region of the country.

What could be better than a holiday on the Red Sea, white warm sand, camels, pyramids, of course it’s all about Hurghada. A wonderful resort, in June the thermometer shows +34-36°C, it’s a little hot if you’re in the sun, but on the beach under an umbrella it’s quite good, a hat is required even in the water, the tan sticks instantly. The water is +26°C, we dived with a mask, it was very beautiful underwater. The evening air feels at +29°C, comfortable even without air conditioning.

Sicily in April is not popular for the majority of visitors, but I like this time of year. The air feels plus 15-19 degrees. This is the best time to get acquainted with the excursion program. The active volcano Etna is a highlight that is definitely worth seeing. Spring is the time of flowering, you can fully enjoy the rich colors of the blossoming flora. The nights are cold, 6-10 degrees above zero, so you need to take fairly warm clothes with you.

I was in Sochi last year in April. And I wasn't very lucky with the weather. The month was cloudy and rainy in places. I don’t even remember the days when there are no clouds in the sky and the sun is shining brightly. The temperature, however, was warm. +13-15 degrees on average. I was there in the first half of April. Taking into account the fact that this year it is warmer everywhere in Russia and spring should be abnormally early, I think that it will be warmer in Sochi too. Forecasters are already promising clear weather without precipitation +14-20 degrees.

If you are still thinking about whether to go to the Emirates in March, then I will say: yes, definitely go! The hottest time is when the sun is +40 (and above), here in summer and September. It's still good in March. On average +25, BUT, if you go at the end of March, be prepared for +30 degrees or higher. At night it is also warm and comfortable. The sun is hot all day, there is no escape from it, so consider protecting your skin. You will need creams and long sleeves.

If you want to go to the sea in April, but don’t know where to go, I can recommend Doha, in Qatar. It's warm and sunny here this month. Rain here in April is very rare. I enjoyed sunbathing and swimming. The sun does not heat too much and does not leave burns. The sea water is warm and comfortable for swimming. Personally, I spent almost my entire vacation on the beach, although there is also something to see in the city.

Last May my husband and I vacationed in Sochi. In May, prices are much nicer than in summer. Everything is much cheaper. The weather was a pleasant surprise: there was plenty of sun in May. During the day it was warm like summer, the air temperature was about +21 degrees. After lunch it could even rise to +28. Of course, in spring, even in May, it rains very often. The good news is that it doesn't last long. But in the evening spring feels stronger. The air temperature in the evening is approximately +12, so be sure to take warm clothes with you. In Sochi in May, of course, it is good for those who come to improve their health and admire the beauty. But sea lovers will be out of luck. The sea in May is still cold, you can’t swim, and the swimming season opens only on May 27th. But the festival opening the swimming season is definitely worth a visit. I was surprised by the Fountain Theater show and carnival. I was completely satisfied with May. And the vacation was 2 times cheaper, and there was enough entertainment. This year we are going to relax there again for May.

I was on vacation in Kemer in December 2023. This was my first trip to Turkey, and I chose this month because I wanted to relax quietly, without crowds of tourists. And low prices played a role. The weather was quite pleasant, but not ideal for a beach holiday. The average temperature was around 15°C and the water temperature was around 18°C. It was cool in the morning and evening, and warm and sunny during the day. There were a few rainy days, but they didn't dampen my mood. I liked that the weather was not too hot and not too cold, just what I wanted. I was able to visit the mosque and museum, and also explored the surrounding area, seeing mountains, forests and waterfalls. I didn't like that some restaurants and shops were closed during the season. I think this weather is best for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle. If you want something more active then you might be better off choosing a different month or resort. I have not vacationed in Kemer at other times, but I heard that in the summer it is very hot and stuffy there, and in the spring and autumn it is warm and comfortable. I think that for me the best month to travel to Kemer is September, when you can still swim in the sea, but there are not so many people anymore. However, my vacation was pretty good. I was able to learn more about Turkey, its history and culture. If I went to this resort again, I would choose September, but I do not rule out that I will return there in December.
