As is known from the school course of geography, the water heats up and cools down more slowly than air. That is why it is much warmer in the winter near Baikal than in other territories of Eastern Siberia, and in the summer it is cooler.

At this time of year, the highest air temperature is + 25-27 degrees in the daytime and 13-15 degrees at night. Such a sharp drop in average daily temperatures is typical of local areas, which must be taken into account when choosing clothes for rest. Be sure to take an unprotected jacket with you: even in summer cold winds often blow here and on sea walks or fishing can be extremely uncomfortable, despite the bright sun. But the precipitation in summer is more the exception than the rule.

The lake itself even slowly warms up in the hottest summer months, at a depth the water temperature above +16 does not rise almost never. As a result, even in July and August, swimming is only in shallow bays and bays, where water is heated to + 20-23 degrees. So, lovers of beach holidays on Lake Baikal should pay attention to the bases of the island of Olkhon, Maloye More and Chivyrkuisky Gulf
