When to go Uzbekistan ?
The best months to visit Uzbekistan are May and September, when flowering and harvests adorn the country in all its finery. It's best to avoid the period from mid-June to the end of July, when most of the country suffers from sweltering temperatures. Conversely, the coldest months are January and February, when Siberian winds can literally freeze some parts of the country. The peak tourist season runs from April1 to October 31.
The climate is continental, very dry and cold in winter, very hot in summer, with daytime and nighttime temperature differences that can be doubled. During the hottest months, from mid-June to the beginning of August, the weather in Uzbekistan is torrid and the mercury easily exceeds 40°C. Conversely, temperatures can reach -40°C in January in Karakalpakia as well as in the mountainous regions of the Tian Shan where the passes are frequently closed.
