Krasnodar Region
ocated on the border of middle and subtropical
latitudes, at the junction of flatlands and moun-
tains, the territory is notable for a variety and
versatility of weather conditions. The climate on the
largest part of the territory is moderately continental,
though it's subtropical on the coast of the Black Sea
(to the South from Tuapse). The average temperature
on the flat land in January is minus 3-5 degrees, in
July-plus 22-24 degrees.
The coast of the Black Sea can be divided into two
climate zones. From Anapa to Tuapse is an area of a
moderately continental climate. From Tuapse to So-
chi is an area of humid subtropical climate.
The duration of the warm period (the period with the
atmospheric temperature above 0 °C) on the most
part of the territory is 9-10 months, while on the
coast of the Black Sea the temperature actually nev-
er drops below zero degrees, i.e. there are only a few
days of the cold period when subzero figures can be
observed.
In total, there are 140-153 summer days. Summer is
mostly moderately hot, the hottest months fall on
July-August. The maximum temperature exceeds
35-39 °C, the number of days with the maximum
temperature above 30 °C in summer is about 30-65
days.
The frostless season in most of the regions lasts
for 180-200 days, on the coast of the Black Sea -
220-260 days.
Every popular urban resort of the Krasnodar Region
has its individual climate patterns. Anapa is famous
for the greatest solar activity (2,450 solar hours per
year). Novorossiysk is notable for a rare atmospheric
phenomenon - bora, the gusting wind with a speed
of up to 40 m/s. Gelendzhik is a record-breaker when
it comes to the amount of precipitation – in the av-
erage, 800 mm of precipitation occurs in 365 days
here.
Still, the climate in the territory is one of the most
favourable for living and working in Russia. The Kras-
nodar Region is the warmest Russian region; the av-
erage period of time when there's the sunny weather
during daylight is 2,300 hours per year.
