Most of Armenia has a dry, high-altitude climate except for verdant rainy pockets in Lori, Tavush and Syunik. The hot summers peak somewhere around 34°C (93°F) in July. November to April/May is the wettest season, though this varies a great deal from one region to another. Armenia's interlacing mountain ranges create a wide range of local climates. August in Yerevan can be 40°C (104°F) for days at a time, while conditions can be damp and foggy just 120km (74mi) away in Dilijan. At regions about midway in altitude, January can yield a daytime temperature range of between -2°C (29°F) to -25°C (-13°F).
