===Climate===
Bishkek has a Mediterranean-influenced [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Dsa''), as the average mean temperature in the winter is below {{cvt|0|C|1}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Koppen Map |url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Asia_K%C3%B6ppen_Map.png |access-date=21 November 2012 |publisher=Upload.wikimedia.org}}</ref> Average [[Precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]] is around {{convert|440|mm}} per year. Average daily high temperatures range from {{Cvt|3|C|1}} in January to about {{cvt|31|C|1}} during July.<ref name=Pogoda/> The summer months are dominated by dry periods, punctuated by the occasional [[thunderstorm]], which produces strong gusty winds and rare [[dust storm]]s. The mountains to the south provide a natural boundary and protection from damaging weather, as does the smaller mountain chain that runs north-west to south-east. In the winter months, sparse [[Winter storm|snow storms]] and frequent heavy [[fog]] are the dominating features. There are sometimes temperature inversions, during which the fog can last for days at a time.
