When does Afghanistan receive most of its annual precipitation?

Most of Afghanistan receives the majority of its annual precipitation between December and April. During this period, the country experiences snowfall in the highlands from December to March, while the lower elevations receive intermittent rain from December through April or May.1

While the summer months are generally hot and dry across the country, there is a notable exception in the mountainous areas along the border with Pakistan. These regions are influenced by the Indian monsoons, which typically arrive between July and September, bringing humidity and rain to those specific areas.1
