When to go
The best time to visit Armenia
Armenia has no month that is both mild and dry by the measure used here. February is the warmest month, with average highs of 27 °C; November is the wettest, with about 258 mm of rain.
Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.
