Russia is a huge country, the territory of which is represented by five major climatic zones. It is no secret that the best climate for humans is Mediterranean, therefore most of the population strives to get to the sea, where there is a lot of sun and fresh air.
Scientific studies have shown that 77% of all inhabitants of the planet are deficient in vitamin D. It is he who is responsible for the regeneration of cells, the normal functioning of the heart muscle, memory, and the strength of bones and muscles. But, most of Russia does not belong to regions where it is mostly sunny and warm.
The benefits of sun and heat
A link has already been clearly established between cholesterol, which leads to cardiovascular pathologies and the amount of time spent in the sun. The colder the region where a person lives, the more cholesterol in his blood. According to Dr. Grimes, the benefits of the sun exceed the damage by 25 thousand times.
Lack of sunlight also leads to the development of multiple sclerosis. Persons living in warm regions suffer from this disease 2 times less than residents of the northern latitudes.
It was also found that the use of vitamin D as a biological supplement is not a complete substitute for sun exposure.
Thinking about where Russia has a good climate, one can refute all claims regarding the benefits of sunlight, because the abnormal heat is difficult to tolerate by people with cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, Irish scientists conducted research and proved that in the southern states of the USA and European countries, where less sunny people always die, than in countries where it is mostly cold.
And the most interesting thing is when the heat comes, then watch yourself. With the advent of sunny days, a person becomes more active and spends much more time on his feet. So, choosing a region where the best climate in Russia is for living, it is better to start with warm and southern territories.
Maykop, Adygea Republic
The city is located in the valley of the Black Sea basin, on the Belaya River, at the northern foothills of the Caucasus Range. This region is called the place where Russia has a good climate and ecology. There is no heat here, the average temperature is + 28 degrees, in winter it very rarely drops below - 4. Summer here lasts 180 days. The city has a little rainfall, but there is plenty of moisture that comes from the western part of the republic.
By the way, the name of the village is translated as "valley of wild apples." In fact, as locals say, in the spring the city is buried in greenery, mainly apples grow here.
However, according to local residents, in the spring there can be strong winds that turn into dust storms, can be accompanied by torrential rains and even hail. But these storms do not last long, so they do not pose any particular problems for the local population.
Regarding ecology, the city of Maykop has been leading among all the cities of the country for several years, not only in terms of its good climate in Russia, but also in favorable environmental conditions.
Krasnodar
This city is one of the leaders on the list where Russians moved from the northern parts of the country. The climate is mild and warm. The average annual temperature is + 13.3 degrees. However, in 2000, in July, at an average monthly temperature of + 24.1 degrees, + 40.7 degrees were recorded. Rainy days begin in late August and last until mid-December.
Winter in the city is short, it starts around mid-January and ends in mid-February. The average daily temperature is from 0 to -2 degrees. But there is also a strong decrease in temperature, up to - 25 degrees, but it happens rarely.
At first glance, it might seem that this is exactly the city where Russia has a good climate for life. But, according to local residents, Krasnodar has its drawbacks, especially in recent years. Atmospheric temperatures can rise so that they can’t get dry when working at high humidity. And in winter there are rains, after which the roads turn into a skating rink. And if heavy rains begin, then the streets are heavily flooded. And the Black Sea is 120 kilometers away. However, the city is not a resort, but a tourist, and this is a huge plus, it has magnificent nature and fertile soil, and the climate is still better than in St. Petersburg itself.
Pyatigorsk and Stavropol
This is the oldest toast in Russia, a beautiful tourist city. Which city of Russia has the best climate? Probably really in Pyatigorsk, where there are very mild winters and hot summers. The climate can be described as temperate continental, which is achieved due to large forest belts and mountain ranges. The wind, which is often observed here, allows you to survive the heat, although it does not happen so often.
Part of Pyatigorsk stretches in the plain, and the other in the mountains. On average, in winter the temperature reaches only - 3 degrees, and in summer it is + 21. The hottest month is August, when even + 40.9 degrees are recorded, but low humidity, dry air and small winds from the east allow you to comfortably transfer the heat.
There are no sharp temperature drops in the city throughout the day. Spring is warm, but short, summer begins in early May.
In confirmation of the fact that the city is listed, where the best climate in Russia is for health - only in 2011, 4.5 thousand people migrated here internal and external immigrants.
Stavropol also has a temperate continental climate. In August, the temperature can rise to +39.7 degrees, and in winter it drops to - 2.3 degrees. Although in 2012, in the month of February, the temperature maximum was recorded - 28.3 degrees. But in the city there is a long “Indian summer”. In general, Pyatigorsk and Stavropol have almost the same weather.
Sochi
The climate in the city is characterized as subtropical, so it may not be suitable for people with cardiovascular diseases. However, this is an ideal place where in Russia the best climate for young people to live. It is quite humid and hot here. Winter is short and rainy. In summer, the air temperature is quite high. But it is here that subtropical plants grow. Here the beaches occupy about 115 kilometers. Perhaps for this reason, many celebrities and members of the government can boast of having real estate in Sochi.
Where is the best climate on the Black Sea coast of Russia? Of course, in Sochi, where the Caucasian ridge protects the village from cold winds. Moreover, in the city, after the XXII Olympic Winter Games, the infrastructure has improved. In recent years, a population growth trend has been observed, at the beginning of 2018, the total number was 429.070 thousand people, and in 2017 there were 411 524 people. And in 2016 - 401, 219 thousand. After all, many people dream of living and working by the sea. Some people manage to come to the city with seasonal workers and stay in the city forever. Therefore, in Sochi, there are more than 100 nationalities.
Kaliningrad
Another coastal city with a continental climate. There are no harsh winters, and really snowy and cold days are barely typed for a whole month. This is a climate city where living in Russia is comfortable. Located on the shore of the Kaliningrad Gulf of the Baltic Sea is very nice, it is neither cold nor hot. And thanks to the influence of the Gulf Stream, winters are warm, spring is early and long. The summer season begins in the tenth of June, and the onset of autumn falls on dates exactly on the calendar. The average annual temperature is + 8.4 degrees.
Despite the abundance of summer rains, almost all locals manage to get a beautiful tan.
In the city itself is not the best environmental situation, due to the presence of a huge number of vehicles. Therefore, the suburb, where there are quite good roads, remains the most attractive for living.
Crimean peninsula
Not so long ago, the Crimean Peninsula, which became part of the composition, is a place where it is better to live in Russia. The climate on the peninsula is ideal even for hypertensive patients and people with cardiac pathologies. The region is especially attractive for people with respiratory tract pathologies. If you recall the story, then in Crimea came not only for treatment, but for a permanent place of residence, writers and actors.
Conventionally, the peninsula is divided into three climatic zones:
- South coast. There are wet winters and rather hot long summers.
- Steppe region. Also with fairly hot summers and cool, wet winters.
- Mountain. Humid and warm in summer, winter is also high humidity, but cool enough.
Today, in terms of living standards, Crimea is quite far behind other Russian regions, but it has an ideal climate. Since 2016, real estate prices have declined, so you can already buy not even an apartment, but a house by the sea for an affordable price.
It is quite difficult to consider the cities separately, because a little more than 2 million people live on a total area of 27 thousand square kilometers (Crimea area). If you take the same Yalta, then the prices here are very high, about 2-2.5 times than on the entire peninsula, in the high season a huge amount of transport and vacationers. The same can be said about Alushta, although there are fewer nightlife venues, so it’s a bit quieter in the summer. Simferopol is not located on the seashore, but it has many new buildings and a well-developed infrastructure. Sevastopol has all the advantages of Simferopol, and is also located on the coast.
Belgorod
The city is located in the middle of the road from the capital of Russia to the Crimean peninsula. It has a temperate continental climate, characterized by mild winters and fast spring. The average annual temperature in the city is +7.7 degrees. In winter, the thermometer can drop to -20, but this cooling lasts no more than a week throughout the winter. Therefore, he is the leader in the ranking in which city of Russia has the mildest climate, located not on the coast.
Belgorod is considered to be an environmentally friendly city. The main pollution comes from vehicles. But the village is very green. City districts - this is 80% of agricultural land. And the locals drink water from underground sources. In addition, according to local residents, Belgorod has a low crime rate, which is important for a comfortable stay. Although there are enough family and domestic quarrels with a fatal outcome.
The terrible
History and the city itself are associated with military operations, although this is a place where Russia has a good climate. It has mild winters and long, hot summers. Very rarely, in winter it is -15 degrees and below. For summer, the normal temperature is + 30, +35 degrees. Winds save from heat, and there is little rainfall here, so there are always many sunny days.
According to the rating of ecologically clean cities in Russia, Grozny is among the ten cleanest settlements.
However, it should be understood that in the city about 93% of the local population are Chechens. Therefore, if you decide to move, then this should be taken into account. At the end of the military conflict, the city gradually flourishes, jobs have appeared in it, it has become calm, so it is “getting younger”. However, interethnic marriages are not welcomed in the city and in the republic as a whole, which is even mentioned in the media and, as before, there is a rather wary attitude towards Russians.
Novorossiysk
The list of cities where Russia has the best climate includes Novorossiysk. It is located on the Black Sea coast, between the Gelendzhik and Anapa regions. Here the Caucasus Mountains began.
The climate in the village is moderately subtropical. Winters are quite warm, although locals say that in recent years in winter, temperatures often drop to -15 degrees. In the summer it is very warm, the thermometer rises to + 40, and the sea warms up to +28 degrees. Moreover, if there is no frost in winter, but the water temperature does not fall below + 7 degrees. Therefore, do not be surprised that there are people in swimsuits on the coast even in winter.
However, from September to March there are strong winds, up to tornadoes, with a wind speed of 105 kilometers per hour.
According to local residents, the city has a very poor environmental situation. This is especially felt in the eastern part, where white dust is observed on roads, buildings and trees. It seems that local authorities are trying to force enterprises to reduce emissions and install the latest filters, but so far no results are visible.
At the same time, even in the city there are beautiful and clean beaches, the Sujuk Spit is especially popular, which can be reached even by public transport.
Astrakhan
Another locality where Russia has a good climate. The city is located in the Caspian lowland, with a temperate continental climate. On average, in winter the temperature varies from -8 to -12 degrees. And in the hottest month (July), the temperature does not rise above + 25 degrees. That is, the weather is quite comfortable for living, even for people with cardiovascular diseases, without sudden changes in temperature.
According to local residents, the main problem of the city is insufficient landscaping, but this is more due to increased salinity of the soil.
Where is better to move with children?
It is clear that each person has his own specific criteria for choosing a place to live. But if there are several children in the family, then the determining factors are not only climate and ecology, and the availability of educational institutions and quality medical care. In such cases, they recommend moving to Kazan, Rostov-on-Don, Astrakhan and Kaliningrad.
