After nearly 20 days of extremely dry and hot weather, as anticipated, significant snowfall was observed in many regions of the republic last night. This was reported by the Hydro-Meteorological and Monitoring Center.

The snow cover in the Masrik area reaches 22 cm, while in Goris and Sisian, it is between 10-15 cm, and in other regions of the republic, it is between 1-5 cm. In Shirak, there is no snow cover. As of January 9, the amount of precipitation is only 0-10% of the monthly norm, except in the Masrik area, where it reaches 40%, which is still a very low indicator.

The daily average temperature in most regions remains 3-4 degrees above climatic norms. Over the next 5 days, light snow is expected only in Lori, Tavush, Syunik, and Artsakh, while the other regions of the republic, including Yerevan, are expected to remain precipitation-free until January 15th.

As the weather clears, the temperature will drop by 5-7 degrees tonight, and it is not expected to change significantly afterward.

Gagik Surenyans, the deputy director of the Hydro-Meteorological and Monitoring Center, shared in a publication, stating: “In the upcoming 5 days, light snow will only fall in Lori, Tavush, Syunik, and Artsakh; in the other regions of the republic, including Yerevan, no precipitation is expected until January 15.”
