Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the Registan, 5 km from the airport (SKD): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

June: about usual. Busiest in September, October and December; quietest from January to March.

What to pack

  • Light, loose clothes: daily highs average 34°C.
  • A layer for the evening: 34°C by day, 19°C at night.
  • Plan the middle of the day indoors: 11 days a month pass 35°C.
  • Sun protection: about 13 hours of sunshine a day.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

On arrival in Samarkand: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
