Key Takeaways: Rain and fog are forecast for parts of Uzbekistan on November 13, with heavy precipitation and a changeover to snow possible in foothill and mountain zones. Tashkent is expected to see +2…+4°C at night and +7…+9°C by day. No precipitation is forecast in Karakalpakstan, Khorezm, Bukhara or Navoi regions.
Uzgidromet is the state body responsible for weather forecasting, climate monitoring and issuing warnings to the public and economic operators about hazardous meteorological phenomena. In the second half of autumn, high humidity in Uzbekistan's valleys and irrigated farmland, combined with nighttime radiative cooling, frequently produces fog. Fog sharply reduces visibility, directly affecting road traffic, airports, rail operations and energy infrastructure. Forecasts of this kind therefore carry practical value for agriculture, municipal services and road safety.
No precipitation is expected in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region, where nighttime temperatures will range from −2°C to −7°C and daytime temperatures from +5°C to +10°C, with fog possible in places. Bukhara and Navoi regions will also stay dry, with −2…+3°C at night and +5…+10°C during the day.
In Tashkent, Syrdarya, Jizzakh and Samarkand regions, rain and fog are possible in places, with nighttime temperatures of +0…+5°C, dropping to −2°C in some areas, and daytime readings of +5…+10°C. In Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya regions, rain is expected in places at night and in the morning, with +2…+7°C overnight and +8…+13°C by day; wind speeds may increase to 13–18 m/s. In Andijan, Namangan and Fergana regions, rain is forecast in places, with +0…+5°C at night, down to −2°C in some areas, and +7…+12°C during the day.
In the country's foothill and mountain areas, rain may turn to snow, with heavy precipitation possible in places: −2…−7°C at night and +0…+5°C during the day. Specialists advise drivers travelling in fog to reduce speed, use their lights and keep a safe distance, while the risk of ice increases on mountain roads. Uzgidromet is expected to continue publishing forecasts for the coming days through its official channels, and the public and organisations are advised to monitor updates.
