Yerevan's Climate
Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, sits on a plateau around 990 metres above sea level in the South Caucasus, deep inland, giving it a semi-arid continental climate with large temperature swings. Summers (June–August) are hot and very dry, usually 30–36°C and sometimes above 38°C, with clear skies and little rain, while winters (December–February) are cold, often below 0°C with snowfall. Spring and autumn are short but pleasant transitional seasons, with autumn dry and sunny. Rainfall is low all year, peaking slightly in spring.
