WEATHER IN Azerbaijan

The best time to visit Azerbaijan is during the spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is mild, and you can enjoy festivals, outdoor activities, and cultural events.

  • Azerbaijan, nestled in the South Caucasus, exhibits a rich tapestry of weather conditions owing to its diverse landscapes. Divided into distinct climatic regions, the country offers a varied experience to its inhabitants and visitors alike.
  • The Caspian coastline enjoys a moderate, humid climate, courtesy of the Caspian Sea's influence. Winters are mild, with temperatures seldom dipping below freezing, while summers are characterised by warmth and humidity. The western coastal areas witness substantial rainfall, contributing to the region's lush greenery.
  • In the mountainous regions, such as the Greater Caucasus range, cooler temperatures prevail, accompanied by heavy snowfall during winter. Summers provide respite from the heat of the lowlands, with pleasantly cool weather. However, these areas are prone to thunderstorms and gusty winds, particularly in spring and autumn.
  • Contrastingly, the inland plains, encompassing central and eastern Azerbaijan, experience a more continental climate. Winters are cold, often accompanied by snow, while summers are warm to hot, albeit with lower humidity compared to the coast. Rainfall is less abundant here, resulting in semi-arid conditions in some parts.
  • In essence, Azerbaijan's weather varies widely across its regions, offering a diverse climate that caters to different preferences and activities throughout the year.
