Geography, Weather, & Wildlife of Belarus
Geography
Birch trees
Belarus is located in the northern half of Eastern Europe and borders Poland (west), Ukraine (south), Russia (east), Latvia (northwest), and Lithuania (northwest).
Geographically, Belarus is very low-lying; this makes some areas ideal for life, while others are too low, making flooding and swamps common, particularly in the south. Outside these swampy areas the country is fairly uniform in regards to geography as the population is evenly distributed outside the larger cities.
Weather
Belarus generally has four distinct seasons, with a slightly longer winter. Winters tend to run from about December to March, but if you're from a warmer climate it may feel like winter during their spring and fall (autumn) as well. Winter temperatures tend to remain below freezing with daily highs in the range of 21-32°F (-6°C to 0°C). In the fall (autumn) temperatures can drop quickly and unpredictably from year to year; likewise, springs can be unpredictable.
