Only a Little Rainfall of 4mm

In June, Uzbekistan experiences notable regional variations in precipitation. While Bukhara is extremely dry with an average rainfall of just 2.3mm, Andijan receives more at 33mm. Nationwide, the average total precipitation for this month is 4mm, spreading over only 3 days. Combined with high temperatures, June is one of the driest months of the year. For travelers visiting Uzbekistan during this time, staying hydrated is as crucial as sun protection due to the intense aridity.

Long Daytime with Intense Sunshine

June provides 15 hours of daytime averagely for Uzbekistan, with sunrise between 5:07 and 5:11 AM and sunset from 8:08 to 8:19 PM. The average sunshine time is extended to 13 hours daily. However, the strong UV index of 10 requires extra caution. You’d better apply sunscreen, wear sun-protective clothing, and avoid midday sun exposure to prevent sunburn. For comfortable sightseeing, schedule your outdoor activities in the early mornings or late afternoon when the sunshine is milder.

What to Wear and Pack to Visit Uzbekistan in June?

 Tops: June in Uzbekistan is hot, so pack lightweight and breathable clothing. Prepare short-sleeve shirts and T-shirts, and bring a light jacket for cooler mornings and evenings, which can double as a sun-protective layer.

 Bottoms: While shorts and skirts are great for extreme heat during the noon hours, bear in mind that they are inappropriate for religious sites. Pack at least one pair of modest and loose-fitting trousers. 

 Footwear: Bring comfortable walking shoes such as sneakers or casual shoes for a long walk, plus sandals for short-distance city explorations. Don’t forget to pack light, breathable, and sweat-absorbing socks to stay cool.

 Extras: Prioritize sun protection and hydration due to the scorching heat and extreme dryness. Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed sunhat rather than baseball caps to also shield your neck, sun-protective glasses, and a lightweight parasol. Stay hydrated with reusable water bottles and combat the arid climate with hydrating facial mist, SPF lip balm, sheet masks, and moisturizer for nighttime skin repair. These essentials will help you stay comfortable while exploring under Uzbekistan’s intense summer sun.

How to Explore Uzbekistan in June with Less Heat Exhaustion?

Before planning a trip to Uzbekistan in June 2026, please carefully consider the challenging climate.

Those sensitive to heat may prefer visiting during milder months such as April or May. 

However, with proper scheduling, including rigorous sun protection and constant hydration, a June visit can still be enjoyable.

Gur-e Amir Mausoleum in Sunny Day

Indoor Afrosiyob Museum is a good option for middy hours.

Due to the intense midday heat, outdoor exploration should be limited to early mornings and late afternoons. The cooler hours present ideal conditions for visiting iconic open-air sites such as Samarkand’s Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum, Bukhara’s Lyabi-Hauz complex, or Khiva’s ancient Itchan Kala fortress. From approximately 10:00 until 17:00, when temperatures rise significantly, visitors should focus on indoor attractions such as Nukus’s Savitsky Art Museum and Samarkand’s Afrasiab Museum. Other worthwhile indoor activities include enjoying traditional hammam spa treatments or exploring covered bazaars like Samarkand’s Siab Bazaar.
