Geography and topography
245. 
Tashkent province is located in the north-east of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It 
borders in the north with the Republic of Kazakhstan, in the northeast with Kyrgyzstan and 
the Namangan region, in the south with Tajikistan, and in the west with the Syrdarya region. 
The territory of the region is 15,300 km2. The Chatkalsky, Kuraminsky, Pskemsky and 
Ugamsky mountain ranges occupy the north-eastern and eastern part of the region. Most of 
the territory is a foothill plain, gradually decreasing south and southwest to the Syr Darya 
River. In the mountains up to a height of 1,200-1,400 meters there are mountain "steppes” , 
their juniper forests are higher, and at an altitude of 
2,00 0
meters there are subalpine and 
alpine pastures.
Climate

and starting in August, there is a sharp decrease. The depth of seasonal frost penetration is 
up to 0,7 m.

The wind conditions analysis shows that on reviewed area during whole year, both 
eastern (E, NE, SE - 50,4 %) and western (W, NW, SW - 33,3 %) winds prevail. The average 
annual relative humidity is 58%. The average annual atmospheric pressure is 720.6 mm Hg 
(96.05 hPa). In the average annually, it is marked one day with ice-covered ground and 2 -
11 days with rime. The earliest frost in some years are being observing in the middle of 
October, the latest - at the beginning of April. The duration of frost-free season is 210 days.
248. 
This area is characterized by small rates of wind speeds from 1.2 to 5 m / sec. Winds 
with a few higher speeds is a cleansing factor. Average annual repeatability wind with a speed 
in 1.2 m/sec is 80.45%. The annual amount of precipitation for the period 2001-2013 was
557,3 mm. The largest amount of precipitation is in April and December (97,2 mm and 84,2 
mm respectively). Precipitation occurs rather consistently from January to May, and again 
from October to December, and are almost negligible between June to September.
