05mak05 Posted March 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Weather.com does not have the average temperatures for St. Petersburg. We've booked the June 2009 RCI cruise and are wondering if we should switch to August. I've googled "temperatures in St. Petersburg" but can't find the information that I need. And, if any of you have taken this cruise in June, I'd appreciate hearing about all of the ports in addition to Russia. Thanks much. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mak05 Posted March 20, 2008 Author #2 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Murphy's Law: The minute I posted, I found multiple sites with the mean temperature. It's 66 for June and 66 for August. June is so much cheaper than July or August so I'm wondering why ... does anyone have an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted March 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2008 July and August are the peak tourist seasons. Was one of the sites you found weatherbase.com? They have historic weather data for most every place on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Native Posted March 20, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2008 When I was there in May I wore capri pants, blouse and light rain jacket When I was there in July/Aug for a B2B I wore jeans,turtleneck, fleece LLBean windblock jacket, rain jacket, mittens, scarf. TOTALLY unpredicatable! I love weatherunderground as my weather resource http://www.wunderground.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TLCOhio Posted March 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2008 June is so much cheaper than July or August so I'm wondering why ... does anyone have an opinion? In June, many are not out of school, yet. August is traditionally in Europe as THE month for vacation. Hence, you'll get a little better pricing in June. It's still busy there during that overall time period and prices in Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen are still ultra high. That's why cruising in this area area can be time efficient, easier and fairly affordable compared to ground prices there for lodging and dining, etc. For clothing, it's layering, being prepared and flexible. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul&Kathy Posted March 20, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2008 2 years ago in June it was just pleasant - not boiling hot but just nice for touring and only a couple of light showers. I would guess high 60s maybe 70 some days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakiron Posted March 20, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2008 When I was there the first week of June in 2007 it was 85 and sunny, the Russians were swimming in the Neva river. All I'm saying is the weather is the luck of the draw and really can't be predicted. From reading cruisecritic I found the cruise after ours the weather wasn't nice at all and all you can do is hope for good weather. I've been there twice and the first time was in September and we also had good weather, fortunate I guess. Ken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted March 26, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2008 We were there two days in mid-June of 2007. It was sunny and pleasant (72 degrees or so). However, I hear it often rains so be prepared for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
