Climate

Sochi has a surprisingly warm climate for the latitude; winter temperatures rarely fall much below freezing. The average summer high temperature ranges between +26 °C (78.8 °F) and +32 °C (89.6 °F) with occasional extreme heat in some interior locations exceeding +40 °C (104 °F).

Resort

The resort has the warmest climate in Russia, averaging +7 °C (44.6 °F) in January and February, and boasts many sanatoria and mineral baths. There are also tea plantations, the most northerly in Europe… In late 2005, the Russian Football Union announced that it was planning to establish a year-round training center for the country’s national teams in Sochi. The city’s warm climate was cited as one of the main incentives.

IOW, they’ve managed to put the Winter Olympics in the only warm place in Russia.
