  • About
The climate and the soils of mountainous regions are determined to a considerable extent by latitude, elevation, relief, and exposition of slopes. The climate of Azerbaijan varies between moderately warm with dry winters, to cold with abundant rainfall.

The average annual temperature is 10.5 to 15.5 °C (51–60 °F). The active temperature summation (see climate classification) is between 3,000 and 4,600 °C in its varied wine regions. Annual rainfall in the low and premountainous parts of the country, where grapes are grown, is 250 and 600 mm (23 in) respectively.
