Temperature will reach 30 to 31 degrees Celsius in Ararat Valley on
August 25, says head of the "ArmHydromet" meteorological department
Gagik Surenyan.

The rise in temperature is conditioned by air currents penetrating
to the republic from the south-west.

The temperature will drop in the second half of August 26.

"Cold winds will blow from Turkey and rain will fall in some regions
accompanied by thunderstorm and wind.

Meteorologists say it may hail in certain parts of the country,"
says Gagik Surenyan.

The temperature will drop by another 4-6 degrees on the night of
28 August.

Gagik Surenyan says the average temperature is 4-6 degrees below
the normal but that’s not abnormal as Armenia has faced much colder
summers.
