Sochi weather reviews

Anastasia, May 2023
The weather in Sochi at the end of May simply charmed us. The sun is everywhere, and the blue of the sea simply hurts the eyes. The slopes of the mountains are dressed in green outfits in rich shades. The soul requires a lot of walking and even the skin to absorb such fresh and fragrant air. Although it was the end of spring, the air temperature was quite summer, in general the weather was warm and there was almost no precipitation. About +25 - +28 degrees during the day. The infrequent rains did not exhaust the pressure. had a light, distinctly spring character. They washed the dusty nature in an hour or two, and the sun was shining brightly again!

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.

Olya, May 2023
Overall, I liked Sochi in May; I managed to spend a little over two weeks here. The average temperature during the day was 20 degrees plus. At night it dropped to plus 10-15 degrees. Sometimes there were torrential rains in Sochi, which lasted almost the whole day. There were no strong winds in the city at that time. The water temperature in the sea was plus 17 degrees. Of course, it was still too early to swim at this time.
