Read the text and say why many people don’t like the climate of St Petersburg.
St Petersburg, the City on the Baltic Sea
A lot of people think that St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its straight streets, wonderful palaces, green parks and squares leave nobody cold. But at the same time not so many people would like to move to St Petersburg and live there. You can ask why. The answer is: because of the climate. The city is situated near the Baltic Sea. The winds often blow from the sea and bring cold and rains. The weather in St Petersburg is often nasty. There aren’t many sunny days. The strong winds make autumns and winters very unpleasant. The Neva is one of the coldest rivers and only very brave people swim in it on hot days.
As you see, the climate in St Petersburg is far from good but it doesn’t stop thousands of tourists who come from different places to see the city. People who live in St Petersburg usually say that their city is the best and they will never change it for any city of the world.
