Hot and predominantly dry weather is forecast this Monday afternoon across the country, though isolated thundershowers may develop in parts of the Fergana Valley later in the day, Uzhydromet said.
Daytime highs across most of the country will hover between +38°C and +41°C, while northern, southern, and desert provinces will see temperatures climb to between +42°C and +44°C.
The heatwave is expected to intensify as the week progresses. By the end of the workweek, daytime temperatures will rise to +41°C to +43°C across most territories, and skyrocket to +44°C to +46°C in the north, south, and desert zones.
Nights will offer little relief, remaining stiflingly warm. Overnight lows will generally range from +23°C to +28°C, while northern, southern, and desert areas will experience even hotter nights between +28°C and +33°C.
