Q: What is the weather like during the summer trekking season in Kyrgyzstan?

In summer (June–August), weather in Kyrgyzstan’s mountains is generally sunny and mild , but it varies greatly by elevation and time of day. During the day in the mountains temperatures can reach 20–25°C (68–77°F). The temperatures vary during the day depending upon the altitude, wind and other weather conditions, so it’s still important to bring layers to stay warm. The sun is very strong at these high altitudes, so be sure to protect your skin and your eyes. Nights in the mountains can be cold, even in summer. You can expect around 5°C at high altitudes and frosty mornings, especially by late August. Although rainfall is relatively rare in summer, mountain weather can change quickly so you might experience an afternoon thunderstorm or a brief rain/snow shower over a high pass. You should be prepared for a bit of everything by dressing in layers and having the right gear: warm sunshine, cool winds, cold nights and maybe a bit of rain. Our treks and tours have recommended packing lists, but if you have specific questions about the weather and what to bring on your tour, just let us know.
