Budget vacation, no need for special advertising route, the opportunity well, modern relax in the Russian-speaking environment - this is a very popular request. Crimea is ready to meet guests all year round, but, of course, having the opportunity to visit the peninsula in the summer, it is silly to refuse it.

The summer months in Crimea are an opportunity to plan your vacation to the smallest detail, paying attention to any of its components. Whether it is a “lazy” beach holiday, trekking, visiting outstanding architectural monuments and museums or a trip to the Grand Canyon, everything will have the weather in the Crimea in the summer.

Crimea is climatically different in the steppe part, the foothills and on the southern coast.

• Steppe part. It is most arid, with little precipitation. But because of the increased gusting winds, the swimming season at sea here ends earlier. The average temperature (depending on the month) ranges from +24 to +30 degrees Celsius. The sea in this region is shallower, and therefore it warms up more quickly: due to the most “favorable" average water temperature, a huge number of tourists come to this part of the peninsula.

• Foothills. This area is as cool as possible. The temperature here rarely rises above +25 degrees, the maximum temperature indicators of water will be the same.

• South coast. For recreation, this peninsular territory is considered, by all accounts, the most comfortable. And walks, and swimming, and sunburn - everything contributes to the climate of the southern coast. The average temperature will be around +27 degrees. But here the stuffiness and aridity, as in the steppe part, will be smaller. The water in the sea warms up to +24 degrees, it cools down for a long time - you can actually swim until November.

Weather for months in the Crimea may also vary.

• June. Summer begins here in May, which means that in June it will finally go down in law. The weather is as comfortable as possible for holidaymakers. Ubiquitous greenery, floral aromas create the necessary fleur, associated with carefree rest. There are no hot spots yet, the scorching sun will appear later, because if you are going for a family vacation, there is no better time to find. If you do not tolerate the heat, but you want to relax in the Crimea, go in June. At the beginning of the month the mark on the thermometer will be around +25 degrees, by the end of June it will rise to +30. Night walks will not allow to freeze.

• July. This month there is a real heat wave on the peninsula. By the middle of summer, the temperature mark will be already above +35 degrees. The weather is almost windless, which is not very good: the risks of sun and heat shocks increase. Therefore, security measures that protect against such an active sun, vacationers must comply immaculately.It is necessary to bathe more often in the morning and in the evening, as well as to walk: in the afternoon such exits are difficult for transferring. But neither high humidity, nor heat, nor calm, tourists, it seems, do not frighten at all. On the beach and during this period it is difficult to find an empty seat.

• August. And this is the hottest month of the Crimea. On some days, the thermometer shows the temperature over +40. And even when it gets dark and night comes to the island, the temperature drops only a couple of degrees. The hottest resorts this season are Sevastopol and Yevpatoria, in Yalta and Alushta a little cooler. Being in the open sun is simply dangerous, because security measures in August only increase. The heat begins to slowly subside only by the end of the month. The water is very warm - up to +27 degrees.

There are a lot of hotels and pensions on the territory of the peninsula - choose to your taste and wallet, book in advance and get a comfortable rest.
