About the Summer 2017 in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Hello friends,
In this article I would like to tell you some facts about the last summer weather in Saint Petersburg. For clarity, I want to illustrate the situation with statistical data.
Sunny days rarely come to replace the rain. Sometimes we could even see the snow. This summer has become the coldest in the last 24 years. It was cloudy weather.
A comfortable summer temperature is about +20-25 degrees Celsius. It is 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit. In June, we had only seven such days, in July - 17, in August - 19.
Now I want to write some statistics.
1. August was the warmest month of last summer. The average temperature was +17.3 degrees Celsius, equivalent to 63.1 degrees Fahrenheit.
In June, the average temperature was +13.6 degrees Celsius, or 56.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
In July, the average temperature was +16.5 degrees Celsius, or 61.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. The average temperature over summer was +15.8 degrees Celsius, or 60.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. The temperature maximum was +27.2 degrees Celsius (80.7 degrees Fahrenheit). It was the day of August, 19.
At night on June, 2 the temperature minimum was reached. It was +3.5 degrees Celsius (38.3 degrees Fahrenheit).
4. Twelve cloudless days were in Saint Petersburg this summer. Half of them were in June. What does a cloudless day mean? This is the day when the clouds covered less than ten percent of the sky.
5. It was rained 59 days out of 92 summer days. Almost two months out of three.
6. Hail was three times in the city, once every month.
Saint Petersburg is the city of rains. So, if you are going to visit Saint Petersburg this summer, dress warmly. And do not forget to bring a raincoat, an umbrella, and rubber boots.
Thanks for reading! I plan to consider some myths about my hometown in the next article.
If you have any corrections, comments, or questions, feel free to write them down.
Have a nice sunny day!

Have a nice rainy day! (better)
'deg' meaning 'degree' you will often see instead if the tiny circle on the upper right, and is used if the keyboard lacks such a symbol, which in my case seems to be always.
Very well written! It is good that you wrote the decimal point in the English way.
