Quetta's Climate
Quetta sits at around 1,680 m in a valley of Balochistan province in southwestern Pakistan, giving it a cold semi-arid climate thanks to its altitude and deep inland position. Summers (June–August) are dry and sunny, with daytime highs of 30–36°C but cool nights owing to the low humidity, while winters (December–February) turn bitterly cold, with sub-zero nights, frost and snow on the surrounding mountains. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are pleasantly mild. Rainfall is scarce and falls mostly in late winter and early spring.
