Weather in Bryansk

Planning a trip or just interested in the weather in Bryansk? In this section, you will find the most up-to-date information on weather conditions, as well as detailed forecasts to help you plan your day.

The climate of Bryansk is characterized as moderate continental, with four clearly defined seasons. This means that travellers can expect significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year, from frosty winters to warm summers. The city is not prone to extreme weather events, but the change of seasons brings a variety of weather conditions.

Winters in Bryansk are generally cold, with average temperatures significantly below freezing, especially in January and February. During this period, frosts and snow cover are not uncommon. Summer, on the other hand, is warm and comfortable, with peak temperatures in July and August, when the thermometer can rise above +20°C. Spring and autumn are transitional seasons with gradual temperature changes and moderate rainfall.

As for precipitation, it is distributed quite evenly throughout the year, without a pronounced rainy season. The amount of precipitation is low, averaging 1-3 mm per month, with the number of days with precipitation ranging from 8 to 14 per month. This suggests that rain or snow (depending on the season) occurs regularly but is usually not prolonged or excessively heavy.

The temperature regime in Bryansk demonstrates a classic pattern of a moderate continental climate with distinct seasonal changes. The annual temperature variation here is quite significant: from frosty winter days to warm summers. The coldest months are traditionally January, with an average temperature of about -5.0°C, and February, where the average temperature stays around -4.5°C. The warmest period falls in July and August, when average temperatures reach +19.2°C and +19.0°C respectively, and daytime highs can rise to +23-24°C.

Winter in Bryansk is characterized by stable sub-zero temperatures. In January and February, the thermometer regularly drops to -7.2°C at night, and daytime temperatures rarely rise above -1.7°C...-2.7°C. Even in December, the average temperature is -2.6°C, with nightly lows around -4.3°C. Such conditions create a true winter atmosphere with possible snow and frost, requiring residents and visitors to wear appropriate warm clothing.

Summer months in Bryansk, conversely, offer pleasant warmth. In June, July, and August, average daytime maximum temperatures range from +23.1°C to +24.0°C, while average night temperatures stay in the comfortable range of +13.0°C to +14.8°C. This creates ideal conditions for walking and outdoor recreation. It is worth noting that diurnal temperature fluctuations are most noticeable in the spring-summer period: for example, in May, the difference between the average minimum (+7.6°C) and maximum (+17.9°C) temperature is more than 10 degrees, which is also typical for June and August. In autumn and spring, transitional temperatures are observed, with gradual warming in April-May and cooling in September-October.

Precipitation in Bryansk is distributed quite evenly throughout the year, and there is no pronounced rainy season or prolonged drought. This means that travellers should be prepared for the likelihood of light precipitation in almost any month. The total amount of moisture falling is small, indicating the predominantly light nature of the rain or snowfall.

If we consider the "wettest" periods, July stands out as the month with the maximum average monthly rainfall, which is about 3 mm. During this summer month, precipitation is observed for approximately 13 days. However, in terms of the frequency of days with precipitation, the winter months take the lead: both January and December record an average of 14 days with precipitation. Given that the average temperature in these months drops significantly below zero (about -5.0°C in January and -2.6°C in December), precipitation here falls mainly in the form of snow, creating a typical winter scene.

The "driest" month in terms of precipitation amount is March, when only about 1 mm of moisture falls, although even during this period there are approximately 11 days with precipitation. The lowest frequency of precipitation is characteristic of September, which pleases with an average of only 8 days of rain. In general, the character of precipitation in Bryansk can be called moderate: in winter, especially from December to February, as well as often in November and March, it is mainly snow. In the warm season, from April to October, rains fall, which are usually not too heavy or prolonged.

When planning a trip to Bryansk, it is important to choose the right wardrobe, taking into account the distinct change of seasons. In winter, from December to February, as well as in early March and late November, when average temperatures drop below freezing (down to -7.2°C), you will need warm clothes: a down jacket or winter coat, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and insulated, waterproof shoes, as precipitation falls in the form of snow. Layering is your best friend in the cold season, allowing you to regulate comfort indoors and outdoors.

In summer, from June to August, the weather in Bryansk is warm, with average temperatures around +18°C...+19°C and daytime highs up to +24°C. For this period, light clothing is suitable: t-shirts, shorts, dresses, sandals. However, given possible evening cooling (minimum temperatures around +13°C...+14°C), it is worth taking a light jacket or sweater. Sunscreen and a hat will also be useful. In the off-season (April-May and September-October), the weather is changeable: it can be warm during the day, but cool in the morning and evening. Here again, the principle of layering will help out: jeans or trousers, t-shirts, sweaters, a mid-season jacket. Regardless of the time of year, do not forget comfortable shoes for walking around the city.

Considering that precipitation in Bryansk is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year, and each month has from 8 to 14 days with precipitation (albeit small in amount), an umbrella or a light raincoat will be a useful addition to your luggage at any time of the year. Although the amount of precipitation is small, it is better to be prepared for a little rain or snow so that nothing mars your impressions of the trip.
