In Russia, the weather in different parts of the country differs greatly. So it depends on what part of the country you live in. On the whole the weather in Russia is rather changeable. We have cold days, but the sun is never far away. Summers are, as a rule, warm and dry. Temperature can reach 27 degrees above zero by Celsius, although it's usually not so hot. The days are sunny and bright, and most people spend time by the bodies of water walking or sitting in a cafe. If they are on leave or on holiday, they often spend much time on the beach. Autumn can be wet and windy. People usually stay at home or if it doesn't rain they work in their gardens and orchards enjoying the 'Indian summer.' Winters are usually cold, temperatures can drop down to 25 degrees below zero by Celsius. There are snowy and windy days in December, January, February and sometimes in many places in March too. Finally, spring comes and the days get warmer again. Some people like to go on picnics in the countryside in late spring as well as in summer.
В России погода в разных частях страны сильно отличается. Поэтому многое зависит от того, в какой части страны вы живете. В целом погода в России переменчивая. У нас бывают холодные дни, но солнце никогда не бывает далеко. Лето, как правило, теплое и сухое. Температура может достигать 27 градусов выше нуля по Цельсию, хотя обычно бывает не так жарко. Дни солнечные и ясные, и большинство людей проводят время у водоемов, гуляя или сидя в кафе. Если они находятся в отпуске или на каникулах, они часто проводят много времени на пляже. Осень может быть влажной и ветреной. Люди обычно остаются дома или, если не идет дождь, они работают в своих садах и огородах, наслаждаясь "бабьим летом". Зима бывает обычно холодная, температура может опуститься до 25 градусов ниже нуля по Цельсию. Снежные и ветреные дни бывают в декабре, январе, феврале, а иногда, во многих местах, в марте тоже. Наконец, приходит весна, и дни снова становятся теплее. Некоторые люди любят ездить на пикники в загородную местность в конце весны, а также летом.
