Kyrgyzstan Weather

The climate of Kyrgyzstan is Continental – that means hot summers and cold winters. A climate of extremes – and because people often feel more uncomfortable in the extreme cold of the winter, they sometimes forget that the summers can also be extreme – hot and dry! Temperatures can vary widely even on the same day, at the same place.

Average number of days of sunshine per year: 322. Even in winter when there can be heavy falls of snow, the sun can shine brightly. Thaws are frequent and melted snow can refreeze overnight making a treacherous surface for both pedestrians and vehicles.

In the summer, in the mountains, the mornings are generally fine and the afternoons hazy with occasional rain. In the lowlands, the temperature ranges between -4° and -6°C (21-24°F) in January to 16 and 24°C (61-75°F) in July. In the highlands, the temperatures range from -14° and -20°C (6.8° and -4°F in January to 8-12°C (46-54°F) in July. There are heavy snowfalls during winter.

The best time to visit most of the country is April-June or September-October, when the day temperatures are cool. Hikers and mountain climbers will want to go in summer: While the rest of the country is burning up, the mountains are at their best.
