Kyrgyzstan

Winters are very cold and snowy around the country, but particularly at higher altitudes. Still, tourists do not need to worry much, as Kyrgyzstan's climate in general is quite bright, with an average of just 65 days of rain each year. Its climate is continental, since the country is positioned so far from any ocean. While summers in cities may be rather hot, even in the warmest months, the mountains are colder. Though days are often warmer than nights, Kyrgyzstan's climate is relatively pleasant, with four distinct seasons.

Winter in Bishkek is mainly bright, with periods of dense fog and snowstorms. In the winter, the average daily maximum temperature is 3° C. Spring is typically moderate, with the onset of warmer weather in May and July. Summer temperatures average 31° C , but may go as hot as 45° C. Many establishments, although definitely not all, have air conditioning.

In the autumn, all of the leaves change to vibrant hues, and rainy days become more prevalent. The spring and autumn seasons are typically shorter than the winter and summer.

Coldest temperature: - 53.6 °C
