Lerik has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate.
Mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers — here's what that means in plain terms.
What this climate feels like
The four things a regular visitor actually wants to know:
Highs near 88°F in July.
Lows near 35°F in January.
About 45 in of rain a year. Wettest in October.
Cloudy skies much of the year.
What "hot-summer Mediterranean" means
Climate scientists sort every place on Earth into about 30 climate types, based on how hot, cold, wet and dry it is across the year. Lerik's type — hot-summer mediterranean — sits in the broad family of mild, temperate climates.
Researchers write climate types as a short letter code. Here is what each letter means:
Cities with the same climate as Lerik
A hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Csa) — these recognizable cities share it. If you know one of them, you know roughly what to expect.
Has Lerik's climate type changed?
Stable — Lerik's climate has held the same type between the 1971–2000 and 1991–2020 normals. The label is steady; the climate beneath it is still warming.
What this climate means for you
Wine grapes, olives, citrus, figs and rosemary thrive. Summer-active gardens need drip irrigation; cool-season crops do well over winter.
Spring and autumn are the perfect window — warm, dry and clear without summer's heat. Summer is hot but rain-free.
Sunny summers, mild winters and an outdoor lifestyle. Wildfires are the dominant summer risk in many areas.
Where these numbers come from
The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Lerik's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Lerik's main climate page, so the two always agree.
Long-range climate maps measure things slightly differently and can place a city in a neighbouring category. Where they differ, this page uses the measured station record as the climate today.
Methodology & sources
Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 27 years of daily observations at Lankaran, a weather station, about 37 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
