Weather in November

  • Yerevan and the Ararat valley · Yerevan, Echmiadzin, Khor Virap, Arenifine

    Dry continental: 35–40 °C (95–104 °F) in July–August, cold winters with snow. Ararat is clearest in autumn and winter mornings.

  • Lake Sevan and the north · Sevan (1,900 m), Dilijan, Lori, Tavushcool

    Cool summers — Sevan is a summer escape; green forests around Dilijan; snowy winters.

  • Syunik and the south · Tatev, Goris, Meghrifine

    High passes (Vorotan, Tatev) snowbound in winter; Meghri near Iran is hot in summer.

  • Aragats and highlands · Mount Aragats (4,090 m), Tsaghkadzorcool

    Aragats summit hikes July–September; Tsaghkadzor skiing December–March.

  • Dry and hot in July–August, often above 35 °C (95 °F); winter is cold but usually dry. Spring and autumn are the walking months.

  • 5–10 °C (9–18 °F) cooler than the valley; snow from roughly November to April, and the high Aragats road opens only once the pack melts, usually mid-July to mid-September.

  • Lake Sevan Region: Lake Sevan basin · Whole region, 1,900 mcool

    Swimming weather is roughly June to early September; July and August are the only reliably warm beach months. Winters are long and the lake partly freezes.

  • The greenest corner of Armenia; summer days are warm and humid, autumn is dry and clear. Snow closes high trails from December to March.

  • Northern Armenia: Shirak (Gyumri) · Arid western plateaucold

    Higher and drier than Lori; Gyumri winters are long and well below freezing.

  • Southern Armenia: Vayots Dzor and Syunik · Highway corridor from Areni to Meghrifine

    Mountain elevation keeps it cooler than Yerevan; spring and autumn are the walking months, July–August is hot in the valleys, and the passes see snow from late autumn.
