Seasons and Weather in Russia.
In fact every season has its fine days and is pleasant in its own way. And it’s not difficult to see this beauty.
Every new year begins in winter, on the first of January. This day is a holiday in our country and people decorate their flats with New Year trees.
In Russia winter is usually a cold season, much colder than in Europe. It often snows; the rivers and lakes are frozen over. The average temperature is about 5 degrees below zero. The most unpleasant thing about winter is that the sun sets earlier and rises later, especially in December and January. The days are much shorter, the sky is often grey, nature is sleeping and sometimes it gets rather boring.
But in the end of March the weather will get gradually milder. The sun will shine more brightly. The days will become longer, snow will melt quickly. At last spring comes and nature awakens after along sleep of winter. All kinds of plants and flowers will come out. The birds will return from the South and build their nests. Everything around will be full of joy and life.
Spring will be followed by summer. The weather will get still warmer and sometimes even hot. The gardens will be gay with flowers all summer months. In summer people will spend much more time in the open air. They will find time to go to the forest, to swim in the river, to sunbathe.
Autumn comes in September and nature begins slowly prepare to fall asleep for winter

Weather and Climate for Your Holiday
Where can you go for a holiday? You have a lot of opportunities. Of course, most people would like to go to the south or to the seaside because it is warmer and more pleasant, but you must consider the weather and the season.
You may want to go to Siberia, for example. The nature is wonderful there. You will never see such a lot of sparkling white snow. You will enjoy frosty fresh air if you go skiing or bear-hunting, but you should remember that it will be very cold there in winter. The temperature may be lower than 40 degrees below zero.
Some people prefer to spend their holidays in warmer places. There is no warmer place in the world than Africa. It’s warm there all the year round. The sun shines every day, but in summer it’s too hot and sometimes it’s humid there. And you won’t be able to go lion-hunting until the sun sets. But when it starts raining, it may rain the whole week. If you want to get sunburnt it’s the best place. You can get as sunburnt as the natives.
If you don’t want too much exotics, spend you holiday in England. There are so many lovely places on the coast of the sea. England enjoys an insular climate. Summers are neither too warm nor too cold. It seldom gets too hot in summer as there is generally cooling breeze from the south-west, but the temperature may rise to ninety degrees in the shade (Fahrenheit, of course).
Anyway choosing a place for your holiday you must consider the weather forecast.
