Weather conditions across Azerbaijan have stabilized as precipitation ceased starting from the evening of February 11, according to the latest official data. The National Hydrometeorological Service reported on February 12 at 11:00 AM that the sharp weather conditions previously affecting the region have begun to moderate.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that significant rainfall was recorded in several regions, with Neftchala receiving 14 mm, Beylagan 5 mm, and Lankaran 4 mm. Other areas, including Mingachevir, Yevlax, Kurdamir, Balakan, and Zagatala, saw 3 mm of precipitation, while Goychay recorded 2 mm. Minor precipitation of 1 mm was also noted in Nakhchivan, Ordubad, Sadarak, Sharur, Naftalan, Oguz, Zardab, Sabirabad, and parts of the Absheron Peninsula.
Substantial snow cover has been documented in the mountainous and liberated territories. The highest snow depth was recorded in Shahbuz at 49 cm and Kalbajar at 40 cm. Significant accumulation was also observed in Lachin and Qubadli (33 cm), Qax (29 cm), Bilasuvar (23 cm), Dashkasan (19 cm), Shusha (15 cm), and Gadabay (14 cm). Other regions, including Khankendi, Aghdam, and Fuzuli, reported snow depths ranging from 2 to 7 cm. Currently, fog is limiting visibility to 500 meters in several districts, including Nakhchivan, Ganja, and Shamakhi.
Azerbaijan's diverse climate zones often lead to sharp contrasts in weather patterns between the lowlands and the mountainous regions of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus. The National Hydrometeorological Service, operating under the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, continuously monitors these atmospheric changes to provide early warnings for agriculture, transport, and public safety. Such heavy snowfall in the liberated territories of Garabagh and East Zangezur is characteristic of the winter season in these high-altitude terrains, requiring heightened caution on mountain passes and regional highways.
