November weather forecast
Russia

November in Russia heralds the onset of winter across most parts of the country, bringing colder temperatures, reduced daylight hours, and increased precipitation in the form of snow.

In the town of Oymyakon, known as the world's coldest inhabited place, temperatures can drop to extremes, with averages ranging from -33°C (-27.4°F) to -20°C (-4°F). The rest of Siberia also braces for the harsh winter, with snow covering much of the landscape.

In Russia's central regions, including major cities such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg, November offers a frigid climate with an unmistakable winter feel. Moscow sees average temperatures between -2°C (28.4°F) and 2°C (35.6°F), while Saint Petersburg experiences a similar range from -3°C (26.6°F) to 2°C (35.6°F).

Down in the southern territories along the Black Sea, the onset of winter is less severe. The coastal city of Sochi sees milder November temperatures, with averages ranging from 7°C (44.6°F) to 13°C (55.4°F). However, the decreasing temperatures still signify the end of the outdoor recreational season in these areas.

Daylight hours dwindle significantly during November. The effect is most profound in the northern regions, with the Polar Nights phenomenon beginning to occur, when the sun does not rise above the horizon for more than a month. However, even in the southern parts of Russia, days become noticeably shorter.

Precipitation during November mostly comes in the form of snow, particularly in the northern and central parts of the country. The western areas, including Moscow and Saint Petersburg, see an increase in snowfall as the month progresses, heralding the beginning of the winter season.

Moving into December, the temperatures continue to fall throughout Russia, and the snowfall becomes more frequent. The daylight hours continue to decrease until the Winter Solstice in late December, marking the shortest day of the year. The transformation of the Russian landscape into a winter tableau is complete as November gives way to the coldest months of the year.
