Fantastic weather, hot but never muggy. Daylight lasting almost 24 hours was a unique experience. But several unexpected rain showers put an end to the work.
The evenings were colder, but a warm coat made it bearable. However, keep in mind that there could be occasional showers.
The cold was very severe, days below -5 degrees Celsius. Adding grayish skies and frequent snowfalls, the weather proved very unpleasant for recreation.
The days were incredibly short and it was very cold, often down to -5°C. There was also a lot of snow.
Sometimes there were bright, clear days, ideal for long walks. However, there were also frequent cold winds and sudden snowfalls. Bring warm clothing and prepare for changeable weather.
I went on a city trip in February. In the evening it was freezing cold -8 even and wind chill -12
