Snowy and frosty weather conditions are expected to be observed in Azerbaijan on February 5, with icy roads anticipated in several areas. The Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the National Hydrometeorological Service, reports that the weather conditions may pose risks for transportation, particularly during the night and morning hours.
In Baku and the Absheron Peninsula, the weather is forecasted to be changeably cloudy and occasionally gloomy, though mostly rainless. However, precipitation, including snow, is likely in some areas during the night from February 4 to 5 and in the evening. An occasionally strengthening north-west wind will shift to the north-east during the day. The temperature in the capital will range from -2°C to +1°C at night and 2°4°C during the day. Atmospheric pressure will rise from 767 mm to 770 mm Hg, with relative humidity at 70–80 percent. Icing is expected on some suburban roads during the night and morning.
In the regions of Azerbaijan, intermittent precipitation, primarily snow, is expected in various areas, with the possibility of intensive snowfall in certain locations. While precipitation will gradually decrease starting from the morning, fog is expected in some districts accompanied by a moderate west wind. Temperatures in the regions will range from 1–5°C at night to 5–9°C during the day. In mountainous areas, temperatures are expected to drop to 3–8°C of frost at night, reaching 8–13°C of frost in high-altitude regions, while daytime temperatures will hover between 0–3°C of frost.
The National Hydrometeorological Service has issued a formal warning that roads, particularly in mountainous and foothill regions, are expected to freeze. Drivers are urged to exercise caution and ensure vehicles are equipped for wintry conditions. Such weather patterns are characteristic of the February climate in Azerbaijan, where cold air masses from the north often lead to sudden temperature drops and hazardous road conditions in the South Caucasus region.
