crows nest club Posted August 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We are thinking of doing the above cruis next year. Anyone had experience of doing this in July and what kind of temperatures did you experience? This ishave one part of the world we have not visited. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

CruiserBruce Posted August 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) If you look on the Northern European board, where this is discussed regularly - the Mods will probably move it there, you will see it can be very warm (our experience ) or on the cooler, possibly wet side, or something in between. So the common recommendation is layers. Edited August 19, 2015 by CruiserBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TW6cruiser Posted August 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We went in mid July which is supposed to be the best time. It was in the low 60's mostly. Biggest disappointment was the dark clouds both days in St Petersburg but the weather did not alter our plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We've been to the Baltic twice on Princess cruises in July and had wonderful weather both times. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Day Cruiser Posted August 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Been there once in July and the weather was warmer than expected. Actually it was hot, dry, and sunny. I remember being very hot in St. Petersburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted August 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We were just there July 26-Aug 10. Before our cruise began, people in Copenhagen said they were having an awful summer. And ships even had to skip Helsinki due to high winds on the week before. And it WAS rainy and cool for our prestay. But within a day of boarding, the weather changed and it was sunny and comfortable the whole 10 days. We didn't need jackets/ sweaters and wore shorts many days. No one can tell you what it will be like next year. Just think layers..in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Unfortunately weather is unpredictable. Should be very nice that time of year but sometimes it is not. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted August 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Weather is unpredictable. We were there last month (early July) Amsterdam and Berlin - close to 40 Deg C Everywhere else - Upper 20's. Had to make a decision each day as to whether to take rain gear. Weather was overcast just about everywhere. Rainy days in Tallinn and Helsinki. However, the next week it was sunny (when we weren't there).

canadakath Posted August 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Our cruise was July 19-26 this year. While the rest of Europe was having a heat wave, temps were a comfortable 20 degrees C most days o the cruise. We always brought sweaters and they were on and off several times during the day depending on wind, shade, etc. One afternoon of solid rain in St. Petersburg, light drizzle a couple of other mornings. Obviously weather is unpredictable, but I have to say I enjoyed the cooler temps for this cruise, made it so we weren't too tired at the end of a long day touring.

Rare tetleytea Posted August 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We cruised over July 4th, and it was pleasant most of the time, a bit nippy some of the time. I hear it was an unseasonably cold start of the summer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
