Based on data from the Republican Hydrometeorological Service (“Uzhydromet”) and international centers, weather in Uzbekistan from April 6 to 12 is expected to be variable and fluctuating. At the beginning of the week, due to moist air flows entering from the Caspian Sea and Turkmenistan, significant cooling and rainfall are forecast: on Monday and Tuesday, daytime temperatures will be around +15…+17°C, while in northern and mountainous areas, they will be +10…+13°C. Strong winds with speeds up to 20 meters per second are also possible.
In the middle of the week, starting from Wednesday, temperatures will rise sharply, reaching up to +30°C in southern and oasis regions, indicating the arrival of hot and dry air masses. However, on Friday and weekends, moist air flows are expected again, leading to rainfall with thunderstorms across most of the republic, particularly excluding northern, Bukhara, and Navoi regions. Precipitation in some areas, such as parts of Karakalpakstan, Samarkand, Navoi, Kashkadarya, Surkhandarya, and Jizzakh regions, may be very heavy, increasing the risk of mudflows and hail.
These weather changes will also impact public health: at the start of the week and on weekends, due to decreased atmospheric pressure (down to 1000 hPa), cyclonic processes will intensify, potentially causing symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, and increased intracranial pressure in patients with blood pressure, respiratory, cardiovascular, and kidney diseases. Additionally, due to bioclimatic conditions, there is a risk of hypothermia early in the week as nighttime temperatures may drop to +10°C, prompting recommendations for warmer clothing.
Regarding cosmic influences, despite recent strong solar flares, international institutes have not forecast severe magnetic storms on Earth for the start of the week, with the Kazakh Ionosphere Institute reporting an expected “green” level of geomagnetic activity on weekdays. However, due to the difficulty in accurately predicting magnetic storms, sensitive individuals are advised to plan based on near-term data.
Overall, this week will bring rainfall beneficial for agriculture but also includes risks of natural disasters like mudflows and hail in some areas. The public is advised to adapt to the weather, observe health and safety measures, and use umbrellas or other protective gear during precipitation.
