Live webcam broadcasts in real time Rostovskaya Street in Simferopol. Simferopol is the capital of Crimea. The name is translated from Greek as "city of the common good" or "guardian city". It is located not on the sea coast, but in the depths of the peninsula. However, this does not take away its charm.
Simferopol is called “the gates of Crimea” because the way to the mountains and sea resorts lies through the capital's railway station and airport. Do not hurry. Stay in the city for at least a couple of days. It is worth your attention.
On the map, Simferopol looks like the center of a star with seven rays - that is how many roads lead to the city from all sides of the peninsula. It fills the valley formed by the Salgir River, as well as two ranges of the Crimean mountains - the Outer and the Inner. The higher Inner Ridge closes the city from the sea, creating a special microclimate. It is only 40 kilometers in a straight line to the Black Sea coast, but in the city it is not felt at all. It seems that you are in the endless steppe.
The Salgir River flows through the city. With a length of 232 kilometers, it is considered not only the longest, but also the longest river on the Crimean peninsula. Nevertheless, almost every year in summer, the current dries up below Simferopol. This indicates a lack of precipitation. Within the city limits, the tributaries Maly Salgir, Abdalka, Kazanka and Slavyanka flow into the river.
The Simferopol reservoir is located on the southeastern outskirts. The largest Crimean man-made reservoir was built in 1954. The idea of construction appeared back in 1910. Then a cholera epidemic broke out in Simferopol, and at the same time there was a colossal shortage of drinking water. Surveys were carried out, but the project was frozen by the First World War. Only in the middle of the century was Salgir blocked with a dam. Now the reservoir is used for urban water supply and land irrigation.
Despite the proximity to the sea, the local climate belongs to the foothill dry steppe type. The long winter lasts from mid-February to mid-May. Summer heat ends at the end of September. Warm autumn ends on New Year's Eve. Winter is short and mild. On average, it lasts about a month. In January, there are frosts down to -3 degrees, but usually the thermometer does not drop below zero. The average summer temperature is +24 degrees. But a forty-degree heat may also happen. There is very little rainfall during the year.
