Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are generally the most pleasant time to travel. The weather at this time is clear, in April you will enjoy colorful yet short spring in deserts. Autumn is harvesting time, and the markets are full of fresh fruit. For those who enjoy hiking, June and August is the best time, because of dry summer.

In winter temperature usually varies between -5 and +5 (all temperatures are in Celsius), snow is usual for Uzbekistan, but there are more sunny than cloudy days. Coats, hats, gloves, and sweaters are recommended. In spring the weather is mild, day temperature fluctuates between +15 and +25, reaching +30 - +35 close to summer. Casual, lightweight clothing for daytime and light jacket, cardigan for the evening are suggested. If you are planning to visit Uzbekistan in summer, expect +36 - + 42. T-shirts and shorts will work the best. It is highly recommended to wear a hat, a cap or to use a parasol.

Early autumn is like spring, T-shirts for daytime and light jackets might be needed occasionally for evening time. Mid-October and November are rather cool, you will need light jackets during the daytime and a raincoat sometimes. From early till late autumn weather temperature decreases from 35 to 15 degrees.

Uzbekistan took the 1st place in the ranking of the safest countries in the world  “Safety Perceptions Index 2023” , which includes 121 countries.

As the portal uzbektourism.uz reported, according to the rating, the level of danger to the life and movement of citizens in Uzbekistan is minimal.

The “Safety Perceptions Index” focuses on five factors: food and water, violent crime, adverse weather conditions, mental health and safety in labor institutions. These factors serve as an important basis for the formation of an image, which will become the basis for the safety rating of countries.

The fact that Uzbekistan is in first place in this rating creates the basis for the unhindered arrival and departure of foreign tourists to our country.
