Deep off-season — very low prices, but weather conditions are suboptimal.
November is the coldest winter month in Estonia (Tallinn) — with highs of only 5°C (41°F), it holds little appeal for sun-seekers. Better travel in June, July, August, and September.
Temperatures reach a maximum of 5°C (41°F) during the day and drop to 1°C (34°F) at night — warm layers recommended. Peaks reach around 11°C (52°F), the coldest nights around -7°C (19°F) — frost does occur. With 1 sunshine hour per day and 9 rain days (72 mm (2.8 in)), this is one of the cloudier months. At 8°C (46°F), the water is still quite cool in November — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
A golden September at 16°C (61°F), then cooler and wetter: October has nine rainy days and the days shorten quickly. The Old Town is quieter, and trips into the forests of Lahemaa tempt with autumn colours and mushrooms.
