Responds information department of "Tourism Thinnesses"
In May in St. Petersburg it becomes noticeably warmer than in previous months, and the real spring is blossoming in the city. In the first half of the month during the day the air warms up from + 8-10 to + 12-15 degrees, at night it is cooler, + 6-9 on the average. It gets even warmer in the second half of the month, when the thermometer's column jumps to +13-18 degrees in the daytime, and at night to + 9-13. In successful years, the air temperature can grow up to + 23-25 ​​degrees.

The weather of the last month of spring always becomes more stable, the relative humidity of the air decreases slightly. This leads to much less precipitation in May than in any summer or autumn months. Of course, no one is immune from wind, nocturnal frosts on the soil, cloudy, cloudy weather and suddenly gone rain (in the first days it may even snow fall), but all these troubles await tourists at any other time of the year. What can you do, this is a city!
