Swimming season in Crimea

Any tourist planning a vacation in the Crimea, asks the question of the swimming season. Holidays on the peninsula are so attractive that you can finally change the routine of life in the city and the “work-home-work” mode for exploring great sights, swimming and passive relaxation on the beach under the warming sun.

Not to mention the positive effect of bathing and the most salty sea water on the body, such a separation from the same gray everyday life will benefit any person, and many tourists expect the body to improve, arriving in the Crimea during holidays or free days.

The swimming season in the Crimea is not so easy to determine, because a lot depends on the tourists themselves: both the weather and the water temperature for each visitor varies from + 19 ° C to + 22 ° C as acceptable, and someone at +25 ° C does not step foot in water under any circumstances.

Doctors have determined the minimum temperature limit for swimming water + 17 ° C, but most tourists will find this limit too cold. Some daredevils still bathe at this temperature as a hardening for the body and increase immunity.

Many people have the opportunity to escape to rest only in spring or autumn, and worry that they can’t see the “tropical” mood.

Crimean weather is warm, there are a lot of discounts and few tourists, if this is important to you, and you come for a quiet pastime.

Only here warm days can change dramatically not in favor of vacationers.

Therefore, literally foreshadowing the weather is not easy: right now it is very likely a short-term cooling. As a rule, the sea at this time is still chilly, although there are always people who want to swim, and many believe that the best vacation is in the off-season. If swimming is not your top priority on your trip, then exploring the surroundings and places of interest at this time will be unforgettable, and if suddenly the water temperature and weather conditions leave much to be desired, this moment will not overshadow the trip.

It is traditionally believed that since May, the beach season has been open since sunny days are already in place, but still the water in the sea is cool, about + 10 ° C. But this does not stop many at all, and you can see that there are many vacationers on the beach. By the end of the month, the water temperature will already reach + 20 ° C, as the indigenous people believe, it is already necessary to have time to plunge at least several times for the pep of body and spirit.

According to the schedule, the swimming season is opened in June, when the weather is rather hot - up to + 30 ° C, which allows warming up the water properly. June is a favorite month for relaxation - there is still no sweltering heat, and the influx of tourists is not very huge, so a place on the beach with a couple of extra meters is guaranteed, and the water temperature is already + 20 ° C, which allows you to swim.

Nevertheless, if you are interested in the peak of the season, when there are especially many tourists, and this is exactly what you are looking for, then Pay attention to the dates in July and August. Indeed, there are hot days, allowing the sea to warm up as much as possible. The water is already actually warm - + 25 ° C, and the sultry temperature crosses the border + 30 ° C.

Water will literally hit you in August - it stays warm both during the day and at night. If you are a lover of beach activities, then sit off the sea in the front row.

On the peninsula, the sea temperature is distributed rather unevenly - lower in the open sea, and even colder in the undercurrents, and in the bays themselves it is very hot.

It seems that August is the perfect month for swimming, which was just created for a beach trip. Nevertheless, the swimming season, even in July and August, can unpleasantly surprise already-experienced tourists - suddenly during the night the water temperature can drop to + 10 ° C. This is played upwelling.

Upwelling (from English upwelling) - the rise of the depths of the ocean to the surface, the usual "surprise" for the Crimea. It can last from 1 day to a week. With powerful gusts of wind, warmed water levels carry away far into the sea, bringing in return deep cold water on the coast. Such "tricks" occur from 1 to 3 per season, overshadowing some visitors with beach plans. But from the pros, it’s a wonderful fact that these coldest deep waters of the sea are very clean and replace the water at the beach.

It is also worth considering that the August holiday does not pass the rainy season, although it is difficult to predict when the sky will cloud over. If in July-August the sea is very rarely worried, then in August-September, as in May, rains are not uncommon.

Jellyfish can be found in the Black and Azov Seas, where the current brings them.

Although they do not represent mortal danger, nevertheless burns are unpleasant news, and sometimes they can completely push people away from bathing.

If the opportunity to come in the summer is not foreseen, and the only free months are in September and later, then you should not be upset. Fly in the velvet season! The September Sea is still warm and welcoming, and will only cool by the end of the month. The days are still hot, but in the evening it gets colder.

Usually the swimming season in Crimea ends in early October, but if it’s warm, then people bathe almost all of Octoberbut it already depends on the personal courage of the floaters.

The beach season on the different coasts of Crimea varies slightly.

The longest swimming season awaits you on the south coast - until the middle of October you can dive and plop down with impunity. But the beginning of the season is the latest - the end of May.

The cleanest water is in this territory of the resort of Feodosia and Alushta. The water is warm all summer, stable up to + 25 ° C, and the season is open in May.

The magnificence of the Sea of ​​Azov is worth a vacation there. Its shallow waters quickly heat up, and the swimming season opens quite early - at the end of May. Sandy beaches will please any tourists, and the pleasant temperature of the water will pull you there like a magnet.

Most of the beaches are located on the west coast, and they delight with shallow water, which warms up perfectly and keeps the water at a warm temperature until nightfall. The swimming season opens in June on a schedule.

Regardless of which month of the above you come for a swim, your vacation will be unforgettable, and the fabulous Crimea will give a bunch of new impressions and emotions.
