Weather Central Russia has a continental climate
Summers are hot and short, while the winters are cold and long.
A Russian winter is famous for its frigid temperatures. Much of Russia is covered by snow six
months of year. It has to be lived through to be really
appreciated. Winter starts in October and continues through March (November-January are the darkest months)
- Interesting fact: Russia’s most southern port, Novorossiysk is on the same latitude as Minneapolis.
