Many people are wondering why in these parts the warm, favorable weather is for most of the year. All this is due to the warm Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. In the depths of the sea, the water temperature is never below 7 degrees. In winter, warm water rises from the depths and replaces the cold water, which descends. So the circulation takes place. At the same time, the oriental monsoons, ruling on the coast, drive off the chilled waters from the shores, instead of them, they bring warm waters from the Asia Minor. Thanks to such phenomena, the eastern part of the Black Sea is always warmer than the western one by 6 degrees, although they are on the same latitude. In the summer, there is a reverse picture: night breezes drive away strongly heated waters, which are replaced by chilled lower layers. Therefore in the summer there is no exhausting heat. The climate is favorable for recreation all year round.
