Summer in St. Petersburg is a truly magical time bringing with it the romantic White Nights. Midsummer brings the city 24-hour daylight. Summer generally runs from the beginning of June to the end of August. Temperatures usually reach 20 C (68 F).
Summers can be hot and humid to cool and cloudy, so you'll want to bring a variety of clothing from stylish shorts and short-sleeve shirts for warmer days to jeans and light cotton pants and sweaters and light jackets for cooler days and evenings. Don't forget a raincoat or umbrella for the occasional rainy day! A sunny morning often leads to a rainy afternoon and visa versa. You'll also want to bring lighter and more comfortable footwear for walking around the city's sights and attractions and traveling to the picturesque suburban parks and palaces. It is also a good idea to bring a backpack or carrying case to stash your souvenirs and other purchases as you travel. Of course, a light hat and sunglasses to protect you from the sun's rays will also serve you well during summertime in the Venice of the North.
