fiogf49gjkf0d RUSSIA OR THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES' CLIMATE
IS GREATLY INFLUENCED BY ITS COMPLEX TOPOGRAPHY. THE
CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THIS AREA'S TEMPERATE CONTINENTAL
CLIMATE IS THE SHARP DIVISION BETWEEN SUMMER AND WINTER AND
THE VARYING LENGTH OF THESE SEASONS IN THE DIFFERENT
REGIONS. THE LANDMASS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL
LATITUDINAL CLIMATIC ZONES. THE TUNDRA ZONE ALONG THE
ARCTIC COAST HAS LONG, BITTER WINTERS AND ONE TO TWO MONTH
SUMMERS. THE STEPPE ZONE HAS COLD WINTERS AND HOT DRY
SUMMERS. THE SEMI-DESERT ZONE LIES NORTH OF THE CASPIAN SEA
WITH HIGH EVAPORATION AND LOW ANNUAL RAINFALL; LESS THAN
100MM. THE LAST ZONE IS THE CENTRAL ASIAN DESERT ZONE WITH
COLD WINTERS AND VERY HOT SUMMERS.
CLOTHING: LIGHT CLOTHING FOR THE SUMMER ACCOMPANIED BY A
RAINCOAT OR AN UMBRELLA FOR SUDDEN SHOWERS. WARMER CLOTHING
IS RECOMMENDED FOR SPRING AND AUTUMN. IN WINTER A HEAVY
OVERCOAT AND BOOTS ARE NECESSARY.
