Tajikistan’s Agency for Hydrometeorology (Hydromet) has issued a warning about heavy snowfall expected in Dushanbe, its surrounding areas, and most regions of the country on January 22.
Forecasters note increased risks on mountain roads and passes, including avalanches, icy conditions, snowdrifts, and sharply reduced visibility, which may significantly disrupt traffic.
Citizens are advised to postpone travel where possible, check road conditions and weather forecasts in advance, and drivers are urged to strictly follow road safety rules.
At the same time, Hydromet forecasts that January 2026 will be relatively warm across much of Tajikistan. Average monthly air temperatures are expected to be 1–2 degrees Celsius above the climatic norm.
Precipitation levels are forecast to be around or slightly below average, while sharp temperature fluctuations are possible in mountainous areas.
Overall, January is expected to be warmer than usual, with a precipitation deficit and unstable weather conditions in high-altitude regions.
