| Climate and Weather |
Uzbekistan’s geographical position in the centre of a large land mass, far from oceans, contributes to the dryness and continentality of its climate. Intrinsic to its climate are long, dry hot summers, cool and wet autumns, and cold winters with thaws. The continentality of the climate can be readily seen in the considerable and sudden changes of meteorological elements during the year and variations by years, etc. |
