Country Guide

This small country on the northwestern boundary of the Russian Federation has a very similar climate to the adjacent parts of the Russian Federation, but is a little milder in winter thanks to the moderating influence of the Baltic Sea, which does not freeze for prolonged periods.

It is more open than the Russian Federation to weather influences coming from the Atlantic and northwest Europe; however during severe spells of winter weather it is dominated by cold winds from the interior of the Russian Federation.

The table for Tallinn shows that conditions in Estonia do not differ much from the weather at St Petersburg in the Russian Federation.
