Weather in August? How many hours of light?

[KKB]

Just got a tremendous price for flights & 11 day cruise on Princess in August. (Denmark, Norway, Germany, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden)

Figure this is the warmest time of the year.

What are average temps?

Quick Google search answers all your questions. Just for example, on Aug 15, sunrise 5:33, sunset 9:14. 

 

July is the  warmest...expect lower 70s. August is in the 60s.

Weather is always somewhat unpredictable. When our cruise was in St. Petersburg (2007), I remember the temperature as being 88 degrees. Glad we took a tour with one of the private companies in an air conditioned Mercedes. One of the passengers I spoke with who took a ship's tour mentioned the air conditioning did not work.

88--WOW! 

Based on my research i didn't figure anything above 70s!

Plan for anything!

St Petersburg is further from the ocean. Plus, what month in 2007?

Can get quite warm in The Baltic.  Norway and Spitsbergen can also get surprisingly warm if you are there in late June/July when the days are long, especially if you are in a sheltered area up a fjiord.  We were in the jacuzzi when in Spitsbergen early July a number of years back and it was not out of bravado either - just good weather.  Take a good jacket and gloves/hat though in case of colder weather, especially for sea days.

 

Going to those areas in the winter is a totally different matter though

Mid-August.

August can be warm but could just as well be cold or anything in between. Hours of sunlight will vary a little depending on location . For Stockholm on 15 august sun will rise at 05.08 and set at 20.36.
