The climate of Nakhchivan (Azerbaijan)
Nakhchivan is an exclave of Azerbaijan situated between Armenia and
Iran with a small part bordering Turkey. This border with Turkey is of
major importance for the transport of goods to Nakhchivan. The border
with Armenia consists of the Zangezur mountain range. The border with
Iran is the Aras River. The capital of this region is the city of
Nakhchivan. The exclave has a turbulent history because countries in
this region disputed that territory. The past several years have been
much quieter thanks to Russian border crossing-points.
Nakhchivan has a moderate land climate and on the highest summits a
high mountain climate. Summers are dry and pleasantly warm; winters
are very cold and relatively dry. The higher regions are a little
colder than the rest of the country. The part of the exclave bordering
Turkey is a little wetter than the rest of this region.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
