Uzbekistan is entering its hottest period of the year. After a relatively cool start to July, forecasters warn of a significant rise in air temperature. According to their calculations, the second half of the month will be warmer than the established climatic norm.
Climatic features of July
July is traditionally the hottest month in this country. Usually, the average daily temperature stays within the range of +35 to +37 degrees, and in southern and desert regions, it can reach +38 to +40 degrees. Periods of intense heat are recorded annually, when thermometers show values from +40 to +42 degrees, and in some places—from +43 to +45 degrees.
Weather dynamics
According to experts, the number of days with extremely high temperatures in the republic has been steadily increasing in recent years. All Julys over the past decade have been warmer than the climatic norm, with nine of them making the list of the hottest in the history of meteorological observations.
Forecast for the second half of the month
Forecasts indicate that by the end of the first ten days of July, the daytime temperature will rise to +37 to +40 degrees, and in the south of the country, an increase to +41 to +43 degrees is expected. Overall, temperature fluctuations in the range of +33 to +38 to +38 to +43 degrees are predicted until the end of the month. In northern, desert, and southern areas, air warming up to +45 degrees is possible.
Precipitation and recommendations
Forecasters suggest that the average temperature in July will exceed the climatic norm by 1.5–3 degrees. At the same time, the month will remain predominantly dry, as less precipitation is expected than usual; short-term rains and thunderstorms may occur only in certain mountainous and foothill areas. Due to the abnormally hot weather, specialists advise residents to strictly monitor their fluid intake, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and pay close attention to the health of children, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases.
