Baku's Climate

Baku sits on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea and has a cold semi-arid climate with low rainfall year-round. Summers (June–September) are hot and dry, typically 28–34°C, while winters (December–February) are mild, rarely freezing but damp and windy. The city's signature feature is its wind – earning it the nickname the "City of Winds" – especially the dry northerly Khazri that blows for much of the year, with rain falling sparsely in autumn and early spring. This page offers an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV index and air quality (AQI).

Frequently asked questions

Why is Baku called the 'City of Winds'?

Baku is fully exposed to wind on the Absheron Peninsula, dominated by the cold, dry northerly Khazri and the warmer southerly Gilavar. Strong winds can blow year-round, peaking in autumn and winter, so always check the wind reading in the forecast.

Does Baku get much rain?

No. Baku is quite dry, with only around 200–300 mm of rain a year, concentrated in autumn and early spring. Summers are almost rainless.

What is the hottest month in Baku?

July and August are hottest, with daytime highs of 30–34°C and high humidity off the Caspian that can make it feel muggier than the thermometer suggests.

When is the best time to visit Baku?

May–June and September–October are ideal: warm, comfortable weather without peak-summer heat, and generally lighter winds.
