March 25, 2026 - Armenia is preparing for a period of volatile weather conditions, informed by the Armenian Hydrometeorological Service. Starting March 25, precipitation is expected across various regions, with particular attention to the arrival of wet snow in the mountainous areas and rain in the valleys and foothills. The forecast mentions specific days where these weather patterns will be more pronounced, such as March 25, 26-28, and the 30th, marked by rain and possible thunderstorms. However, clear weather is anticipated on March 29. The winds are expected to be from the southwest, with a standard velocity of 2-5 meters per second, but may increase significantly during thunderstorms, reaching gusts up to 16 meters per second. A noticeable temperature fluctuation is also on the agenda as March 25 will see a decrease, followed by a rise of 3-5 degrees on March 26. The changes are expected to affect both western and eastern regions, including prominent cities like Yerevan where residents should be prepared for a series of rain showers and thunderstorms on some days. Variability in weather like this calls for precautionary measures, as these shifts can impact daily activities and agricultural plans. The weather advisory underscores the importance of staying informed and prepared for rapid changes. Updates will continue throughout the week to ensure the public is aware of current and forthcoming weather conditions, making local populations adequately equipped to handle this meteorological shift. Residents are advised to follow official updates and be prepared for sudden changes which could include minor transportation disruptions due to wet weather conditions and possible thunderstorms. While rain and wind are expected to dominate the scene this week, temporary clear skies on March 29 provide a brief respite for those seeking a dry day amid the intermittent showers.
