Subject: The best time to come to Belarus.

Hi Sally, I hope you are fine.

I am so glad you're thinking seriously about coming to Belarus.

I'll give you my true first-hand experience of our climate and weather.

I believe it will help you make the right choice.

Summers in Belarus have become very hot.

Heat waves are common here.

Sometimes I think, when will it end?

This heat is simply unbearable.

Personally, I feel under the weather.

Do you like hot weather?

If you don't, there's no need to worry.

You can always hide in the shade of gardens.

What I like about summer is the freedom.

The freedom to do whatever you want.

And it is such a joy to finally have the bright sunshine, almost every day, after long, gray winter days and slushy, windy spring days until the end of March.

It's difficult to predict what the weather will be like in summer.

Each summer is different.

One may be extremely hot, the other is cool, rarely though.

In my opinion, cool summers are far more comfortable.

I feel active, full of beans, and I can do lots of things.

I remember that we often suffer from lack of rain in summer,

and when it's extremely hot, temperatures break all records and rise to forty degrees Celsius.

On such days, we look forward to windy weather and hope that it will bring refreshing rain.

When rain finally falls on the baked surface of the ground, it is usually accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The weather gets violent.

If a downpour occurs, Minsk should expect flooding.

Traffic will be disrupted, and cars will stop in high places, not to be completely damaged by the floodwater.

Summer is also the time of windstorms.

But don't worry, we will always follow weather forecasts and take weather warnings seriously.

We will stay inside.

It's the safest way to weather the storm.

Autumn comes late.

At the end of September, when days grow short and leaves change their color to red and yellow.

It means we're on the way to overcast, gray autumn skies, and after crossing the Rubicon in late October, we will have to wait for fair weather until next April.

Winter is a contrast to hot summers.

It fits the classic description of the continental climate.

We should expect gray winter days with frost, sometimes sleet, freezing rain, and black ice on slippery roads.

When the sun does shine in winter, it's usually frosty.

And the picture is unearthly beautiful.

The clean, white ground under the clearest blue sky is covered with millions of bright, shining diamonds.

If you like winter sports, Belarus is the right place to come for skiing, skating, sledging.

One more thing, spring is a great time, too, as you feel very well that life goes on.

Are you prepared to experience the Belarusian climate and weather?

Choose the time that suits you.

Choose any season you like.

Feel free to email me. You can count on me.

Best wishes, Veronika.
