Barnaul is an amazingly sunny city. 230 days a year it is sunny, which is more than in Sochi and about the same yearly time period as in Crimea.

Continental climate of Barnaul is conditioned by specific geographic position in the South West of Siberia and the influence of Altai mountains.

Territorial “openness” from the part of the Arctic Ocean and semi-desert regions of Central Asia creates the possibility of different air masses entering Altai krai, which contributes to considerable contrast of weather conditions.

Barnaul ranks 21st in the rating of 100 largest cities in Russia by population as of 01/01/2024.

Barnaul population in 2024 totaled 687,6 thousand people, which was 32,3% of the Altai Territory population. The proportion of the working-age population is 58%, of which 13% are employed in industry.
