The Republic of Armenia is expected to see heavy snowfall on January 23 and 24, due to the influence of a cyclone and Arctic frontal winds. The snowfall will be widespread, particularly in Yerevan, the central areas of the country, and the mountainous regions. Low visibility is expected, especially at night and in the morning, which could impact travel on the republic’s highways.
