Yalta is approximately on one geographical latitude with the Italian cities of Genoa and Ravenna and it speaks about its environment.
The major role is played by a combination of the warm, nonfreezing sea and mountains.
Mountains and the sea make essential impact on a climate of Yalta. Mountains protect it from cold air streams from the north, the northeast and the northwest. The sea, being a powerful regulator of heat during winter time, warms its warm breath, and in hot summer days moderates burdensome heat.
In a warm season, in the afternoon winds (breezes) blow from the sea, by the evening – from mountains towards the sea.
The warm coastal breeze informs from mountains hardly an audible smell of needles. The grass all year long turns green and something blossoms.
