Good and best months depend on more than temperature, rain and events. How they are chosen

Each activity on this page has its own good and best months, rated on twenty years of daily weather records. Which measures count, and how much, depends on the activity: humidity for exploring outdoors, wind for the beach, hiking and skiing, snow for skiing alone. Between them, the activities are rated on:

Daytime highs
Night-time lows
How warm it feels
Humidity
How much of the day is sunny
Hours of daylight
Monthly rainfall
How many days it rains
Days of heavy rain
Wind
Snowfall and days with snow
Major events, such as festivals

The chart shows the good and best months for exploring outdoors.

The event icon marks a month that an event lifts to good or best, such as a festival or a natural spectacle. Choose “Weather only” in the toolbar to rate the months on weather alone.

Best months by activity

Exploring outdoors

Mild days and nights, mostly dry and bright. The default for 'when should I go'.

JJanuary: neither
FFebruary: neither
MMarch: neither
AApril: good
MMay: best
JJune: good
JJuly: neither
AAugust: neither
SSeptember: best
OOctober: best
NNovember: neither
DDecember: neither

Best: May, September–October
Good: April, June

Yerevan is best for outdoor exploring in May and September-October, when it is mild, dry and sunny; April and June are good shoulder months, but the winter half of the year (November-February) is too cold and July-August turn too hot for comfortable full days on foot.

Air quality

Averaged over a shorter period (2022–2025) than the twenty-year averages above, and not counted towards good or best months.

	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
Air pollution (PM2.5) 2022–2025	16.6 µg/m³	17.2 µg/m³	15.3 µg/m³	12.2 µg/m³	13.6 µg/m³	10.4 µg/m³	11.5 µg/m³	9.6 µg/m³	9.4 µg/m³	10.6 µg/m³	14.2 µg/m³	17.2 µg/m³
Air pollution (PM2.5, daily peak) 2022–2025	26.3 µg/m³	26.2 µg/m³	22.7 µg/m³	18.4 µg/m³	20.1 µg/m³	14.8 µg/m³	16.3 µg/m³	13.4 µg/m³	13.9 µg/m³	16 µg/m³	21.5 µg/m³	26.6 µg/m³

Good 15 µg/m³ or less
Fair 15 to 25 µg/m³
Moderate 25 to 37.5 µg/m³
Poor 37.5 to 50 µg/m³
Very poor 50 to 75 µg/m³
Extremely poor over 75 µg/m³

Each figure is compared with the World Health Organization's guideline for a day's air, 15 µg/m³ or less, and with its interim targets above that. The words are ours: the WHO does not name its steps. The figures are modelled monthly averages, so single days can be well above them. The daily peak is the average of each day's highest hour, shaded on the same scale.
