Precipitation of Uzbekistan

Precipitation in Uzbekistan is distributed unevenly due to the location of the country in the depths of the vast continent, the wide variety and intricacy of the terrain. The most arid is the western lowland area and the Ferghana Valley. From the plains to the foothills there are more rains.

The dampest seasons of Uzbek weather in a year are spring and winter. Spring precipitation is 40% of the annual amount, and in some mountainous areas they are more. Summer precipitation is very small, and its share decreases from north to south from 20 to 1%.

The average annual rainfall is slight, so agriculture is more dependent on irrigation.
