Find out whether it is worth going on vacation to Sochi in the summer of 2021: what the weather is like, what to be ready for and what month is better to come. Personal impressions and experiences. Take note!
The beginning of summer in Sochi
June is the best summer month for a holiday in Sochi if you cannot stand the heat and humidity. The weather is good: during the day an average of +23 ... + 25 ° С, which is very comfortable for me. Although not so hot, you can easily burn out, so use sunscreen.
However, swimming is pretty cool - the water is about + 20 ° С. However, in the second half of the month, the water is no longer so invigorating, and tourists calmly swim.
There is almost no rain, and it is clear all the time. At this time, it is great to go on excursions or explore the surroundings on your own.
I love June because cherries, sweet cherries, strawberries and mulberries ripen in the south at this time. Real jam!
Mid summer
July in Sochi is a wild steam room, a real sauna. I don't like this month, because all I have the strength to do is lie languidly in the shade and wipe my face every couple of minutes. What are the excursions here! Nevertheless, in July we went to 33 waterfalls, to a tea plantation, to the Mamedovo gorge and dolmens, to Lazorevskoye, and also went to the arboretum. It was hard, but we made it through.
In my opinion, it is much more comfortable in the Crimea and the Sea of Azov at this time. If you don't like humidity, go there for a vacation. According to tourists, it is a little easier in Lazarevskoye and Dagomys, and in Khosta and Matsesta it is not as humid as in other regions of Sochi.
The weather in the middle of summer in Sochi is cloudless and hot, most often + 30 ° С or even higher. All this is more easily tolerated near water. The sea temperature is about + 24 ° С. There is little or no wind, and I only enjoyed the coolness after 17:00.
The end of summer in Sochi
The beginning of August in Sochi is not much different from July: everything is just as humid, hot and stuffy. During the day, the air can heat up to + 36 ° С, and even at night there is no coolness. There are rare rains, but after them everything dries up very quickly. From the middle of the month, the heat gradually subsides, the weather becomes softer and more comfortable.
The water is already well warmed up and the beaches are overcrowded. But be careful, because microorganisms multiply quickly in warm water. In the summer, rotavirus infection is often raging in resorts, so do not swallow sea water, wash fruits and hands thoroughly, and take medicine with you.
According to reviews, at the end of summer it is best to rest not in Sochi itself, but in green villages like Khosta and Dagomys - there are a couple of degrees cooler.
