Has the climate in Bukhara changed?

Bukhara has warmed about 4.8°F since 1973.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Bukhara's official daily weather records, 1973–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Bukhara's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Uzbekistan.

What has actually changed

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 16 more freezing nights a year and about 34 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 29 years of daily observations at Buhara, a weather station, about 17 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
