Precipitation

Uzbekistan experiences predominantly dry weather throughout April, with an average rainfall of 43mm over 11 days. However, precipitation varies distinctly by region: while Khiva is quite dry with just 12mm of monthly rainfall, Samarkand receives a higher average of 121mm. Occasional showers may occur in multiple days, so checking the weather forecast before outdoor activities is advisable. The combination of limited rainfall and rising temperatures leads to arid climate, making hydration and moisturizing essential for staying comfort.

Daylight Hours: Sunrise & Sunset

During April, Uzbekistan enjoys extended daytime lasting 12 to nearly 14 hours. The sun rises as early as 5:23 AM and sets as late as 7:38 PM, providing about 8 hours of sunlight daily. While this extended daytime offers more time for exploration, travelers should be mindful of the intense midday sun when UV radiation peaks at level 7. You’d better stay indoors at these time periods, and always use proper sun protection, including sunscreen, sunglasses, and wide-brimmed hats when going out.

In mid-April of 2026, you can also visit nearby suburban farms to pick fresh and affordable strawberries, which can be a delightful seasonal activity.

Clothes: Daytime temperatures in April typically reach comfortable averages around 23°C (73°F), but be prepared for occasional temperature jumps to 30-40°C (86-104°F) during afternoon hours. Light and breathable clothing is essential:

April Travel Advice

Sunrise in April casts a magical glow on Uzbekistan’s architecture and landscapes. Arrive at your photo locations 20 to 30 minutes after dawn to capture the warm hues. The morning air remains crisp and clear, perfect for shooting madrassas or blossom-lined streets.

As temperatures climb by noon, shift to indoor explorations. You can visit covered bazaars like Chorsu or museums such as the State Museum of History of Uzbekistan in Tashkent. Many historical sites also offer cool interiors to admire where visitors can avoid peak UV hours, such as the Ulugh Beg Madrasah or the Bibi-Khanym Mosque in Samarkand. Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours if venturing outdoors later in the afternoon.
