weather

Another question: it seems like the weather is variable in the Baltic region and Berlin, St. Petersburg, Scandinavia. We are sailing on 8/16. From what I have read, it will be in the 70's, except maybe in Riga. Any feedback, thanks!:confused:

I'm going around the Baltic next week. Just had a look at the 5 day forecast for this week (28/7 - 1/8) on the BBC website. For where I'm going, the temperatures ranges are as follows:

 

Copenhagen 23 - 28

Stockholm 21 - 25

Helsinki 20 - 22

St Petersburg 14 - 21

Tallinn 20 - 23

Berlin 28 - 31

 

With the exception of StP where it's raining, bright sunshine is forecast all week. Let's hope this continues!

Last week, we were travelling in Tallinn, Helsinki and St Petersburg (by ourselves and then on a 9 day land tour of Russia). I have a very good tan!

 

The weather was as follows:

 

Tallinn - about 70F (or 20C), sunny but with a torrential down pour of rain mid afternoon, then it was sunny again. Wore jeans and a shirt and was slightly too hot.

 

Helsinki - about 77F (or 25C), sunny and hot. Clear skys and no wind. Beautiful! Wore 3/4 pants and a light cotton shirt. Perfect most of the time, but hot after a lot of walking.

 

St Petersburg - same as Helsinki or even slightly hotter 3 days out of 4. One day it was cool and rainy. I wore jeans, a t-shirt and a light cardigan. According to our guide St Petersburg only gets 75 days of sun a year.

this has been a big help, thanks to all so far. I was going to bring 2 pairs of jeans, but now I am thinking I will need more crop pants.
