Layering should be your key principle, as the weather can be changeable.

Don't forget an umbrella or a light raincoat, especially if your trip falls between July and October, when the number of rainy days is at its peak.

In winter (December to February), Segezha experiences real frosts, with average temperatures around -8°C.

Summer (June–August) here is short and moderately warm, with average temperatures from +14°C to +17°C. Light clothing like T-shirts, shorts, and dresses is suitable, but don't forget a sweater or fleece for cool evenings and a windbreaker or light jacket in case of rain, which happens quite often, especially in July and August. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent can also come in handy during the summer months.

In spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October), the weather in Segezha is at its most unpredictable. It can still be quite cold in March, so warm clothes are a must. April and May bring gradual warming, but evenings remain chilly. In autumn, especially in October, the approach of winter is already felt as temperatures drop significantly and the number of days with precipitation increases. The principle of layering is ideal for these seasons: T-shirts, shirts, sweaters, a mid-season jacket (preferably waterproof and windproof), as well as a hat and gloves for colder days. Pay attention to your footwear—it should be waterproof and comfortable.
