Short-term heatwave to bring temperatures up to 37°C in Armenia

The Deputy Director of the Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center, Gagik Surenyan, said in a statement that temperatures of up to 36°C are forecast in the low-lying areas of Syunik.

Air temperatures across the country will rise by 3–4°C from June 18–20 due to the intrusion of warm air currents from the southwest, he said.

Despite the overall warming, short-term thunderstorms are expected in the northern regions during the evening and nighttime hours.

According to forecasts, temperatures will gradually decrease starting from June 21.
