Way to Russia Talk Lounge

Kusuri

Hey guys,
I'm probably going to be in Russia (Saint Petersburg and Moscow) in October 1st to November 1st, and am wondering if this is a terrible mistake. Will it constantly be rainy or snowy? Will it be too cold to enjoy myself? I would be renting an apartment in Saint petersburg, for example, October 1st - November 1st. I would of course take a train to Moscow and such.

Thanks.

Josh

No, it probably won't constantly be raining nor snowing, but it might happen from time to time. Temperature may be about +10 Celcius, get down to +5 or even get warmer as +15. Don't forget about cold winds. But the weather is not so bad after all, there is certain pleasant atmosphere about autumn in St-Petersburg. The best days are certainly ones when the weather is dry and temperature is about +10.

I also think it's not a bad time to go. As long as you have a sweater and a jacket, you should be pretty comfortable. On cloudy or rainy days, it might feel a bit chilly, but sunny day shouldn't be too bad. Night and morning might be a bit chilly, because depending on which place you are staying, heater might not be turned on yet.

If you are renting an apartment, make sure to get your registration done. I guess if you got the apartment from a company, they'll take care for you, but don't forget. It's important.
