The climate of Kaliningrad (Russia)
Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave situated on the East Sea between
Poland and Lithuania on the banks of the Pregel River. Kaliningrad is
the most westerly situated city of Russia. Kaliningrad is the capital
of the Kaliningrad oblast (administrative division). In 1946 the city
was named after the politician Michail Ivanovitsj Kalinin, before 1946
the city was called Königsberg. Kaliningrad is somewhat strangely
situated because both Poland and Lithuania became EU members. This
makes it harder to travel to and from Russia. Kaliningrad is an
important city in Russia because it is the only port in the west that
is free of ice all year round. The house of Soviets which is situated
in the center of the city is seen as one of the ugliest buildings in
the world and by far the ugliest building in Russia. Kaliningrad has a
moderate sea climate influenced by the warm Gulf Stream. Summers are
pleasantly warm with 20 degrees Celsius on average. Because of the
situation on the Gulf Stream winters are mild with temperatures of -4
degrees Celsius on average. The coldest temperature on record is -33.3
degrees Celsius. Rainfall is quite evenly spread out over the year
with a peak at the end of the summer. The average humidity figure is
79%.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
