Where to go in Armenia in August?
Of course, fruit is not the only advantage. In fact, August is a great time for out-of-town tours and excursions. It is not so hot in the regions as in Yerevan during this period, and clear dry weather is perfect for walking, hiking, picnics and visiting monuments under the open air. By the way, it is in August that the beach season starts in Lake Sevan. The water temperature rises above 20°C in August.
Things to do in Yerevan in August
If you have decided to spend a few days in Yerevan – the capital of Armenia, you will not be bored! However, in sunny hours of the day, it is better to hold off walking in the open air. But, it is a wonderful opportunity to spend these hours visiting a variety of mesuems located in Yerevan. Among the most popular places to visit are Matenadaran, the Armenian Genocide Museum, S. Paradjanov Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Erebuni Archaeological Museum.
If you want to cool down, just visit the local water park, where you will find a lot of entertainment and water attractions. Make sure to take a walk in the center of Yerevan in the evening. Walk along the Northern Avenue, admire the show of “singing fountains” in the central square, or visit cozy open-air cafes, where delicious fragrant black coffee will be served to you.
Weather in Armenia in August
July and August are the hottest months in Armenia. The last month of summer, as a rule, gives the maximum clear sunny days. The air temperature seldom drops below 30 °C in Yerevan in August, and the column of the thermometer sometimes shows over 40 °C. However, weather is much cooler in the mountain regions and Lake Sevan even in August. So if you have planned a country tour, especially with an overnight stay, do not forget to take some warm clothes with you.
Holidays and events in August 2024
Around mid-August one of the most interesting Armenian holidays is the Day of the Blessing of Grapes. The roots of the annual blessing of grapes (and the whole harvest) go back to distant paganism. However, now the tradition coincides with the day of the Assumption of the Saint Mary and is celebrated as an important religious holiday. The first torn grapes are brought to the church on this day, and at the end of the rite are distributed to the visitors. It is believed that only after the blessing it is possible to begin the collection of grapes (which is also one of the symbols of Armenia), and only after that the best wine will be made from the harvest.
