Snow fell on the Maidanak pass in late October

Light snow on Maidanak

Light snow fell on the Maidanak pass in late October, Kun.uz reported, citing an announcement by Uzhydromet. The Munchukyr weather station, the closest to the pass, recorded an air temperature of +5 °C. The outlet clarified that this was the reading taken at the weather station itself: no separate data on the temperature in the Maidanak area, where the snow fell, were provided.

What is known and what is missing

The report specifically noted the low intensity of the precipitation. The publication did not say how long the snow lasted, whether a snow cover formed on the surface, or how thick it was. Thus, for now it is possible to speak only of the very fact of light snowfall on the pass and of the temperature at the neighboring station; the full picture of weather conditions in the Maidanak area at that moment remains unknown.
