Yerevan Climate Trends
Armenia · Asia · 50 years of climate trend data
This page tracks how Yerevan's climate has shifted over 50 years of daily measurements, warmer summers, milder winters, and changes in rainfall, rather than current conditions. The two clearest signs of change: extremely hot days have grown by 31.2 a year and frost days have dropped by 18.4 a year, from 127.6 to 109.2 days below 0°C. Measurement period: the last 50 years (1976-2026).

Frequently asked questions about Yerevan's climate
How much warmer have summers in Yerevan become?
The average daytime high across June, July and August rose by 3.1°C between 1976-1980 and 2022-2026. That is a five-year average at each end rather than two isolated summers, so a single exceptional heatwave or cool summer does not drive the number.
Have winters in Yerevan become milder?
The average daytime high across December, January and February rose by 3°C between 1976-1980 and 2022-2026. In many capitals in this dataset winter is changing faster than summer, which shows up most clearly in the frost-day count below.
How many days above 30°C does Yerevan get a year?
Yerevan averaged 65 days a year above 30°C in 2022-2026, up from 34 in 1976-1980. These are the days that set peak cooling demand and the days hospitals see heat complaints rise.
How many frost days does Yerevan still get?
Yerevan averaged 109 frost days a year in 2022-2026, down from 128 in 1976-1980. Fewer frost days sounds pleasant, but water pipes, heat pumps and garden planting are all sized for a cold season that increasingly no longer arrives.
Is spring arriving earlier in Yerevan?
Spring now starts about 0.9 week earlier than in 1976-1980. The start point is the first day the trailing seven-day average high crosses 12°C, a fixed in-house measure used only to compare Yerevan against itself rather than against other cities.
Has the growing season in Yerevan grown longer?
The growing season is about 10 days longer between 1976-1980 and 2022-2026. That is the stretch between the start of spring and the first autumn night below freezing, which is exactly the window gardens, farming and pollen seasons run inside.
Is rainfall in Yerevan getting heavier?
Yerevan averaged 0.6 day a year with more than 20mm of rain in 2022-2026, up from 0.4 in 1976-1980. Warmer air holds more water vapour, so the same annual rainfall increasingly arrives in shorter, harder bursts, which loads drains and water storage more than the annual total suggests.
