| Climate and Weather |
Despite its relatively small land area, the climate in Tajikistan varies widely, due to the country’s mountainous topography. The climate in Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) is moderate. In the cities, daytime temperatures average around 20-30°C. Winter is usually quite mild, but expect some snowfall in the valleys between December and February. In the mountains, however, conditions are harsher with low temperatures, snow and strong winds and the higher mountain passes are often closed. |
