Climatic conditions of Samarkand region and their impact on agriculture

Abstract

This article analyzes the geographical location and climatic characteristics of the Samarkand region and their impact on agricultural production. The study examines key climatic indicators - temperature, precipitation, wind direction, humidity, and solar radiation - and their influence on crop productivity. The findings show that Samarkand’s continental and arid climate provides favorable conditions for cultivating crops such as cotton, wheat, vegetables, grapes, and fruits. However, limited rainfall, water scarcity, and high summer temperatures pose certain challenges to agricultural sustainability.
