Uzbekistan is best visited during the country’s warm, dry months, which occur in Spring (April to early June) and Autumn (late August to November), between the country’s weather extremes. While markets are in full swing during July and August, travellers can expect to be met with very hot temperatures, up to 40°C. Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing but clear, crisp, sunny days make for excellent photography and crowds are fewer.
