Yerevan in February
Not the best time
February is still winter's grip on Yerevan, but slightly less harsh than January. You'll save money and dodge crowds, but prepare for limited daylight and challenging walking conditions.
Weather
February stays freezing with occasional snow showers and gray skies dominating the month. The sun makes rare appearances, and when it does, the reflection off snow-covered Mount Ararat can be stunning. But most days are cloudy, cold, and damp with slush covering the cobblestones.

All Months
May through October gives you the best weather, but each season tells a different story. May and June mean mild temperatures (65-75°F) and everything's green from spring rains. July and August get hot - think 85-95°F - but the evenings cool down perfectly for outdoor dining.
September and October are golden. Literally. The city's trees turn yellow and orange, temperatures drop to comfortable 70s, and grape harvest season means fresh wine everywhere. October can be rainy, but it's the kind of light drizzle that makes the pink stone buildings look even pinker.
Winter gets cold (20-40°F) and gray, but hotel prices drop by half. Plus, you'll have attractions to yourself, and the Christmas markets around Republic Square in December create a cozy atmosphere. Just pack layers - Armenian buildings aren't always well-heated.
