Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Three cities in Uzbekistan recorded record-high temperatures for specific calendar dates in November.
Temperatures in Tashkent, Bukhara and Navoi exceeded previous records set in 1981 and 1992, Uzhydromet reported.
The temperature record in Tashkent was broken on 6 November. The maximum reached 26.9°C, 0.5°C above the previous record for that date. In 1981, temperatures had risen to 26.4°C.
Two more records were set on 8 November. In Navoi, the temperature reached 30°C, exceeding the 1992 record by 1.3°C. The previous maximum was 28.7°C.
In Bukhara, the temperature reached 30.6°C on the same day. This was 1.1°C above the previous record of 29.5°C, set in 1992.
Thus, Tashkent broke a record set 45 years ago, while Bukhara and Navoi surpassed records dating back 34 years. These were maximum temperatures for specific calendar dates, not absolute November temperature records.
Uzhydromet had earlier warned that cold and humid air masses would move into Uzbekistan from 9 November.
Rain, locally heavy, was expected in the following days, with snow forecast in northern and mountainous areas. A significant drop in temperatures was also expected.
