Gagik Surenyan Announces When the Weather Will Warm Up

In the Republic, the abundant weather will persist in the coming days. During a press conference held in the Armenpress press hall, Gagik Surenyan, the deputy director of the Ministry of Environment's Hydro-Meteorological and Monitoring Center, noted that precipitation in the form of snow is expected in Shirak, Lori, and the foothills of Tavush, as well as in the mountainous areas of Aragatsotn and Kotayk.

“In some areas, precipitation will be quite intense, accompanied by thunderstorms, during which there will be an increase in wind strength. On the afternoon of March 24, the influence of the cyclone will weaken and precipitation will cease, but on March 25, another cyclone is expected. It will cover the entire territory of the Republic, but the peak of precipitation will be registered in the areas of Vayots Dzor and Syunik. On March 25, several regions of the Republic will experience precipitation. Precipitation is expected to temporarily cease on the night of March 26 and continue until noon on the 26th. In the evening hours of March 26, precipitation is expected in most regions, and in some areas, it will be intense. After noon on March 27, the cyclone will gradually move out of our Republic,” said Gagik Surenyan.

According to him, a certain stabilization of the weather is forecasted for the period of March 28-31, when most of the Republic is expected to be dry, with a noticeable increase in temperature.

Gagik Surenyan also announced that a slightly unstable weather is anticipated in Armenia in April. The average monthly temperature across the Republic is expected to be 1 degree higher than normal, while in terms of precipitation, there will be no significant shortfall. The amount of precipitation is expected to exceed normal levels. “I can say that usually, the norm of precipitation in the Republic during April is quite high. Now, if we say that it will be more than normal, it means we should expect a fairly humid April,” said Gagik Surenyan.

Regarding the maximum and minimum air temperatures expected in April, Gagik Surenyan noted that on certain days, when tropical warm air currents penetrate the Republic, the maximum daytime temperature in Shirak will reach +18...+21, in the mountainous areas of Kotayk +18...+20, in the foothills of Kotayk +22...+26, in Gegharkunik +18...+21, in Lori +18...+23, in Tavush +21...+26, in the mountainous areas of Aragatsotn +18...+20, in the foothills of the same region up to +25, in the Ararat plain up to +26, in the mountains of Vayots Dzor +18...+21, in the foothills +24...+26, in the valley areas of Syunik up to +28...+30, in the foothills of the same region +20...+25, and in Yerevan up to +26 degrees.
