Weather in Tallinn
It’s supposed to be sunny and +14 to +20 degrees Celsius – the average Estonian summer weather. Bear in mind that Estonia is a nordic country and a jacket and/or sweater in your bag always makes sense. It’s usually chilly in the mornings and evenings and locals are not surprised if all this occurs during one day. ☀️🌦️🌧️
