Best time to visit Yerevan
Aim for April to May and September to October if you get the choice: temperatures sit either side of the peak heat rather than in it, and highs average 72°F (22°C) against roughly 8 wet days a month. For the same question asked the other way round, see where else is warm in April.
Pack for Yerevan with lightweight, breathable clothing and serious sun protection, a heavy insulated coat, hat and gloves for winter and rain gear if you travel around May. Even in August, lows of 69°F (21°C) make an extra layer worth the space.
