According to Uzbekistan's Hydrometeorological Service (Uzhydromet), April marks the peak of spring in Uzbekistan, a period of garden blooming and crop formation. Air temperatures continue to rise rapidly, with the most intense warming observed in the northern and desert zones, where readings exceed March levels by 8–10 degrees.
The warmest April on record was in 2022 (3–6 degrees above normal), followed by April 2025 (3–4 degrees above normal). The coldest April this century was in 2009 (2–4 degrees below normal). During the warmest periods, daytime temperatures can reach +28…+33 degrees, with absolute maximums of +35…+38 degrees, and in some parts of the north, south, and desert zones, up to +39…+41 degrees. Many April records were updated in 2025.
April is one of the wettest months, with rain, thunderstorms, and squally winds occurring quite frequently. In the north, extreme south, and desert zones, there are typically 5 to 8 days with precipitation, while areas closer to the mountains experience up to 9–13 days. A distinctive feature is the extreme unevenness of precipitation distribution: there have been extremely dry Aprils (e.g., 1975, with precipitation not exceeding 5–30% of normal or none at all) and others where some regions received 3–5 times the normal amount. The rainiest April in Tashkent was in 1990, with about 300% of the monthly norm, and on April 8, an absolute record was set—65 mm of precipitation in a day against a monthly norm of 62 mm.
This year, April will begin with unstable weather. In the first decade, there will be occasional short-term showers and thunderstorms (locally). In Tashkent Region and the Fergana Valley, no precipitation is expected from April 1–3. In the second and third decades, rain is anticipated on separate days (1–3 days in each decade). Nighttime temperatures will range from +7…+12 to +12…+17 degrees, while daytime temperatures will vary from +15…+20 to +27…+32 degrees.
