Dry and hot weather will persist in Uzbekistan next week. Daytime temperatures will fluctuate between 37–40 degrees, but on August 12 and 13, an increase to 41–42 degrees is expected in some regions.
According to meteorologists' forecasts, only slight and partly cloudy conditions are likely across the country in the coming days, with no significant precipitation expected. The exception is today, when short-term rain and thunderstorms are possible in the Tashkent region.
Nighttime temperatures will remain in the range of 21–26 degrees. In the northern and desert zones, as well as in other parts of the country, winds are predicted to strengthen to 13–18 meters per second on August 14, which may be accompanied by the formation of dust storms in some places.
In the afternoon today, there is also a possibility of short-term rain and thunderstorms in some areas of Tashkent. From August 11 to 14, the capital will have partly cloudy and dry weather. Nighttime temperatures are expected to be 23–26 degrees, and daytime temperatures 37–40 degrees, with a maximum value of up to 41 degrees during August 12–13. An easterly wind of 3–8 meters per second will prevail.
After a period of relatively cool weather, hot weather will return to Uzbekistan. According to Uzgidromet data, air temperatures in some parts of the country will reach from 41 to 42 degrees during the weekend. At the same time, there is a possibility of thunderstorms and mudflows in mountainous areas.
Uzgidromet predicts a gradual increase in temperatures from August 7 to 9. On Friday afternoon, most of the country will be heated up to 34–37 degrees. However, on Saturday and Sunday, a rise to 37–40 degrees is expected. In the northern, southern, and desert regions, the heat may intensify to 41–42 degrees.
No precipitation is forecast for most of the territory, except in mountainous areas, where localized short-term rains with thunderstorms are possible. Forecasters also warn of an increased risk of floods and mudslides in the foothills and mountainous areas of the Tashkent region, as well as in the Fergana Valley regions.
In windy weather, which is expected in the north and desert zone on August 8 and 9, wind speeds may reach 13–18 meters per second, which could lead to the formation of dust storms.
In the capital, Tashkent, precipitation is also not expected. The temperature today in the afternoon will be about 36 degrees, and on the weekend it will rise to 37–39 degrees. Nighttime temperatures in Tashkent are predicted to be within 21–24 degrees, with wind speeds of 3–8 meters per second.
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.
