What kind of weather does Baikal expect in summer? What is the first thing to do to relax on Lake Baikal? I will try to answer these questions to all those tourists who for the first time decided to see the deepest and cleanest lake in the world with their own eyes and feel the energy of this amazing place. Well, I'll start to discover all the vagaries and secrets of the weather on Lake Baikal.

We will agree right away, I will only talk about summer vacations and the climate, so we will start the tourist season from the beginning of June to the end of September, during this period Lake Baikal is visited by most of the tourists from all over the world. Secondly, we will agree on the location, I will take the entire southern territorial part.

General information about the climate on Lake Baikal

The weather on Lake Baikal is very capricious and unstable, for all tourists who are going to rest in the beautiful places of the Siberian lake, I decided to prepare an article on all life situations related to the climate here. Now, if you are going for a walk or vacation here, you can take with you everything you need to have a wonderful pastime.

Some general information about water temperature, air temperature and climate. I'll start with the winds, you probably already read the names of the winds on the Internet, but still I repeat:

  • Verhovik
  • Kultuk
  • Sarma
  • Shelonnik
  • Barguzin
  • and others

As for the southern part, all the winds are not so pronounced in summer in this territory, the only wind that will not give you rest is Shelonnik, it blows almost constantly and in a cold stream, it makes itself felt especially strongly in autumn, brings waves. In the summer period, the weather on Lake Baikal is especially favorable to rest, so we don't bother too much, but be sure to take a windbreaker with a hood.

Now I will quickly go over some areas of the lake, where the climate can change dramatically in one day, I will touch on the village of Listvyanka from the Irkutsk side and the city of Baikalsk.

Weather in Listvyanka

The weather in the village of Listvyanka as a whole is the same as on the entire coast from the Irkutsk side, therefore, when planning to walk along the coast in the village of Listvyanka, you need to know the forecast in the city of Irkutsk in advance, for example, on the Gismeteo website, the forecast will be exactly the same for the village of Listvyanka.

As for the climate, Listvyanka is almost always windy, so we take a jacket with a hood and a warm blanket with us to sit near the shore of Lake Baikal.

Weather in Baikalsk

For all tourists going on vacation to the coast of Lake Baikal from the southern side, we advise you to look at the weather in the villages of Kultuk, Baikalsk, Vydrino, Utulik as a forecast.

It is in this side that a huge number of tourists are concentrated on Lake Baikal, it is very warm in winter, unlike Irkutsk, and humid.

In summer, tourists from all over the world rest here. All right, we briefly ran through the two main territories, now let's look at the weather on Lake Baikal by months.

Monthly weather on Baikal

I'll start with the earliest month for a vacation on Lake Baikal - June. June in the southern part of the lake will be very cold, the water temperature here will reach +11 degrees, even the locals are not particularly keen to swim at this time. At night, the air temperature also drops to +3 degrees, so I do not advise you to rest in tents.

We go further, the end of July throughout the southern part of the lake is suitable for camping, the water temperature warms up to +15 degrees, in some bays up to +17 degrees, very rarely reaches +19 degrees, for example, on the small sea last year the water temperature reached +22 degrees in a closed place.

The air warms up enough during the day to take a quick swim and tan in the sun.

I do not advise you to stay in the water for a long time, after leaving the water you go out into the open air and, as a rule, a cold wind blows from the side of the lake, which can blow you so that the next day you can get seriously ill.

The beginning and end of August is the peak holiday season on Lake Baikal, I still advise you to consider the first half of August, especially if you are going to rest on Olkhon Island, in the second half of the month it starts to rain and conditions worsen, but not always, as luck would have it.

The weather on Lake Baikal is especially favorable in August, the water temperature in an open place warms up to + 18 degrees, in bays and bays up to +23 degrees.

What things should you take if you are going to have a rest on Baikal as savages? I have already written all about this in detail in the article on the rest of the savages. And yet we take warm and quick-drying clothes first!
