Weather in Turkmenistan: Wind, Temperature Swings and Possible Rain This Week
16 Sep. 05:43At the start of the week, weather across most of Turkmenistan is influenced by a large anticyclone centered over the Volga region. This system brings cooler air to the country, especially at night, while daytime temperatures remain warm.
Monday:
In northern parts of Balkan and Dashoguz regions: night +10…+15°C, day +20…+25°C.
In Ahal: +21…+28°C; in Mary and Lebap: +23…+28°C.
Tuesday:
Cool nights spread across the country:
Dashoguz and most of Balkan: +8…+13°C;
Ahal: +11…+16°C;
Mary and Lebap: +13…+18°C.
Daytime: +22…+29°C.
Wednesday–Thursday:
Cool nights continue, but daytime temps rise slightly.
Dashoguz & Balkan: +21…+26°C,
Ahal, Mary, Lebap: +23…+28°C.
Friday:
Strong winds expected in Balkan region due to a pressure gradient between low pressure over the Caspian and high pressure to the north. Wind gusts may reach 17–22 m/s with possible dust storms.

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.
