Continental climate of Uzbekistan
Geography and climate of Uzbekistanu00a0
The geographical placement of Uzbekistan, which is located away from the oceans and seas, in the inner part of the Eurasian continent, causes its continental climate. The continental climate is expressed in cloudless weather in most of the year, in a high temperature in summer, in a small amount of precipitation in large evaporation of moisture, in the summer hot and duration, as well as the relatively cold winter in these latitudes, in large amplitudes of daily and annual air temperature. These features of the climate in Uzbekistan were influenced by climate generating factors.u00a0
Seasons in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is a sunny land, filled with warmth and light. It is typical for this region the high solstice throughout the year, as well as an abundance of warm and sunny days. Indeed, the number of sunny days in a year is more than 320.
About summer in Uzbekistan
During the summer, the duration of the day is up to 15 hours, and in winter - about 9 hours. In summer on the flat part of the country there is a local turan tropical air mass. The air is dry and hot, and saturated with fine dust. The weather in Uzbekistan is resistant, the sky is always clear, cloudless; day is very hot, but it becomes cooler at night. The hottest 40-days period, called by local residents "chilly" continues from June 25 until August 5.
Here the area of a low pressure is formed that favors the penetration of the warm and more humid air from the north-west and west. However, the air quickly gets warm, and there is no precipitation.
Mountains, located in the eastern part of the territory, retain the humid air masses, resulting in the foothills and mountains precipitation falls. In summer, climate of Uzbekistan is cooler in the mountains, and there are more rains, winters are cold and prolonged, snow falls a lot. High in the mountains snow lasts all year, forming glaciers.u00a0
