Month-by-Month Guide
January
January is the coldest month in Yerevan, with temperatures hovering around 2°C (35°F) during the day and dropping well below freezing at night. The city sees minimal rainfall, though you might encounter some snow. It's a quiet time for tourism, with crisp, clear days that are actually quite beautiful if you're prepared for the cold.
February
February starts to hint at spring's arrival, though it's still quite cold with highs around 6°C (43°F). Nights remain below freezing, and you'll want your winter layers. Rainfall stays minimal, and the city continues to be quiet on the tourist front, making it a good time for budget travelers who don't mind bundling up.
March
Spring begins to take hold in March, with temperatures climbing to a more comfortable 13°C (56°F). This is actually the wettest month of the year, so you'll want an umbrella or rain jacket. The transition from winter to spring can be unpredictable—you might see sunshine one day and rain the next—but the city starts to come alive as things warm up.
April
April is genuinely lovely, with temperatures reaching 19°C (67°F) and the city blooming. You'll still get some rain—it's the second wettest month—but the weather is generally pleasant and perfect for exploring. Crowds remain manageable, and the spring atmosphere makes it an excellent time to visit historic sites and enjoy outdoor cafés.
May
May brings warm, comfortable weather with highs around 25°C (77°F) and decreasing rainfall. The city is beautiful this time of year, with green landscapes and pleasant temperatures that are ideal for both sightseeing and hiking in the surrounding mountains. Tourist numbers start to pick up, but it's still not overwhelmingly crowded.
June
Summer arrives in June with temperatures climbing to 31°C (87°F), though the low humidity keeps it from feeling oppressive. Rainfall drops significantly, and you'll get long, sunny days perfect for exploring. This is when tourist season really kicks in, with visitors taking advantage of the warm weather and extended daylight hours.
July
July is the hottest month, with temperatures reaching 34°C (94°F) during the day. That said, the dry air and cool evenings make it more tolerable than you'd expect. Rain is extremely rare, and you'll get consistently sunny weather. It's peak tourist season, so popular sites will be busy, but the long days mean you can adjust your schedule to avoid the midday heat.
August
August remains hot at 34°C (93°F) but is virtually rainless—it's the driest month of the year. The heat is intense during midday, though mornings and evenings are pleasant. Tourist numbers stay high, and locals often escape to the mountains or Lake Sevan for relief from the city heat.
September
September is arguably one of the best months to visit, with temperatures cooling to a comfortable 29°C (84°F) and minimal rainfall. The summer crowds start to thin out, and the weather is ideal for pretty much any activity. It's that perfect sweet spot where it's still warm enough for t-shirts but not uncomfortably hot.
October
October brings autumn in full force, with temperatures dropping to 21°C (70°F) and rainfall picking up again. The fall colors are beautiful, and the weather is still pleasant enough for outdoor exploration, though you'll want to bring layers. Tourist numbers decrease significantly, making it a good time for those who prefer quieter travel.
November
November marks the transition into winter, with temperatures cooling to 13°C (55°F) and nights approaching freezing. Rainfall is moderate, and you might see the first snow of the season toward the end of the month. The city becomes quite quiet as tourist season winds down, and you'll need to start packing winter gear.
December
December is cold, with highs around 4°C (39°F) and nights well below freezing. The city takes on a winter atmosphere, and you might see some snow, though rainfall remains relatively light. It's the start of the low season, with few tourists and a local, authentic feel to the city's holiday celebrations.
