Weather in Yerevan in June
In June, the weather in Yerevan is not just summer weather, but hot. Since the end of May the thermometer often rises to +30 °C, and with the onset of June the probability of such hot days only increases. At the same time, the air humidity is low, mainly 25-50%.
The average temperature during the day is +28 °C, while at night the average temperature is +23 °C. Generally, during the month, daytime temperatures range from +25 to +35 °C.
Walking at night is often much more pleasant than during the day. At this time it is comfortably +20…+23 °C, the stuffiness is finally replaced by a pleasant freshness, especially if the wind blows a little stronger than usual, although in Yerevan the wind is almost never felt all year round. The main bonus of a walk in the dark is the opportunity to see the illumination of the Cascade and sculptures, otherwise there is very little city illumination.
The maximum precipitation in Yerevan falls in May and June, but this does not mean that the beginning of summer in the city is rainy. The reason is that the region where Yerevan is located is characterized by a dry climate, so even in the “wettest” months there is an average of 20 mm of precipitation, that is, only 1-3 rainy days are likely, and the rest of the time it is sunny and dry, even low cloudy days in June are rare. For this reason, even for short walks in the city, you will need a high SPF sunscreen, a sun-protective hat and practical clothes that are not too hot but not too revealing.
