Weather conditions across Turkmenistan are expected to turn colder during the week, with temperatures dropping as low as minus eight degrees Celsius and mixed precipitation forecast in several regions. This information was released by the Hydrometeorological Service of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan.

In Ashgabat, variable cloud cover is expected, with light rain mixed with snow likely toward the end of the week. Winds will shift from southeast to northwest, occasionally strengthening to 15 meters per second. Nighttime temperatures in Turkmenistan’s capital will range from slight frost to +2°C, while daytime highs will reach between +3°C and +11°C.

The Balkan region of Turkmenistan will see precipitation mainly in the second half of the week. Nighttime temperatures will fluctuate from −4°C to +5°C, with daytime readings rising to +14°C, though coastal areas will remain cooler. Wind speeds may reach up to 17 meters per second.

In Ahal province of Turkmenistan, rain mixed with snow is expected at both the beginning and end of the week. Temperatures will drop to −5°C at night and rise to around +12°C during the day.

Similar weather patterns are forecast for Mary and Lebap provinces of Turkmenistan, where mixed precipitation will occur intermittently and daytime temperatures may reach +13–14°C.

The coldest conditions in Turkmenistan are anticipated in Dashoguz province, where nighttime temperatures could fall to −8°C, with daytime values ranging from −2°C to +7°C.

















Turkmenistan Develops Bio-Agent to Neutralize Methane Emissions

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.

Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.

This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
