warm summers.

The average annual temperature is 5.8 degrees Celsius. Average monthly temperatures vary by 24 °C, ranging from – 6 degrees Celsius on average in January to that of 18 degrees Celsius in summer.
Belarus has an average annual precipitation (rain and snow) of 550 to 700 mm, spread evenly throughout all months.
The average number of sunlight hours in Minsk is 1815 (of 4383 possible). It means that it is sunny 41,4% of daylight hours. The remaining 58,6% of daylight hours are cloudy, foggy or misty, mostly from October to March.

In general, there are no significant (great) differences between the districts of Belarus, due to the small size of the country.
The climate is influenced by the country’s inland location, the domination of flat relief and relative remoteness (удаленность) from the Atlantic Ocean.
