After a period of abnormally high temperatures in Uzbekistan, some temperature drop is expected. During the working week, air temperatures in most regions will fluctuate within the range of 32–38 degrees.
In the southern territories of the republic, the heat will last longer: on August 3, the temperature may reach 40–43 degrees, and from August 4 to 7, a range of 38–40 degrees is forecast.
Slight and variable cloudiness is expected on these days; significant precipitation is not anticipated in most regions. However, short-term rains and thunderstorms are possible exclusively in mountainous areas, and on August 4, they may also fall in parts of the Fergana Valley.
There is a risk of mudslides and floods in the foothills and mountainous zones of the Tashkent region and the Fergana Valley regions.
From August 3 to 5, an increase in wind load up to 13–18 m/s is predicted in several regions of the country, accompanied by the formation of dust sheets.
No precipitation is expected in Tashkent itself. The daytime temperature in Tashkent will be 35–38 degrees on August 3 and 6–7, and 33–35 degrees on August 4–5. At night, the air temperature will drop to 20–23 degrees. The wind will blow from the east at a speed of 3–8 m/s, occasionally increasing to 10–12 m/s, and on August 4—up to 12–15 m/s.
Hot weather will persist in Uzbekistan in August, although the temperature background will gradually decrease compared to July. According to Uzhydromet forecasts, the beginning of the month will be characterized by dryness and high temperatures, while cooler days are possible in the second half of August.
Forecasters note that the average temperature in August in the country is traditionally 1.5–2.5 degrees lower than in July. Nevertheless, August remains one of the hottest months of the year: in most regions, the average daytime temperature stays at 35–37 degrees, and in the desert zone and south, it can reach 38–40 degrees.
During periods of intense heat, the air temperature almost annually rises to 38–39 degrees, and in the southern and desert areas, it is recorded to rise to 41–43 degrees in places. Throughout the history of observations, absolute August records in some regions of the country have reached 44–47 degrees.
According to specialists, the temperature regime in August is changing under the influence of global warming. Data analysis shows that between 1991 and 2020, the average monthly temperature was 1.2–1.5 degrees higher than in the period from 1961 to 1990.
For August 2026, forecasters predict temperatures within the climatic norm. The first days of the month promise to be hot: on August 1–2, the air will warm up to 38–41 degrees, and in the south and desert zone, a rise to 42–43 degrees is expected. After this, the temperature will begin to drop by 3–5 degrees, with daytime temperatures in most regions expected to be 33–38 degrees, and up to 40 degrees in some places.
Closer to the end of the month, a cooler air mass may arrive over the territory of Uzbekistan. Daytime temperatures may drop to 25–30 degrees, and nighttime temperatures may be 12–15 degrees.
August is the driest month in the country. On plain areas, only 1–2 millimeters of precipitation usually fall, and short, light rains are likely mainly in the second half of the month. Nevertheless, forecasters warn that even in August, heavy downpours are possible, as was recorded in some areas in 2020 and 2023, when precipitation significantly exceeded normal levels.
