Afghanistan is a dry and arid country with a pronounced continental climate. The climate varies greatly with the location of the place.
Afghanistan is a mountainous country and a network of mountains stretches across its entire territory. Therefore, the climate of a particular area depends a lot on its elevation and location. Kabul, the capital, for example, located at an elevation of 6,000 feet, has a very cold winter and a hot summer. Jallalabad, by comparison, located in the eastern plains, has cool winters and very hot summers with temperatures often reaching 110 F (43 C). Kandahar, to the southeast, located at an elevation of about 4000 feet, has a climate that is halfway between Kabul and Jallalabad. Winters are less severe than those of Kabul and summers, although hot, are moderated by the altitude.
Precipitation, everywhere in Afghanistan, is very low. On the hills it is found mainly in the form of snow. Kabul receives snowfall in winter due to disturbances from the West, an additional tropical depression that traverses Afghanistan from January to March. Winter precipitation accounts for more than 80% of Afghanistan’s precipitation.
In summary, the climate of Afghanistan is an extreme form of continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. If you want to visit Afghanistan, you should avoid these stations. A good approach would be to visit this country during the spring and fall, when temperatures are within tolerable limits and the weather is sunny and dry.
