For most travellers, the best time to visit Turkmenabat is during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is most comfortable for exploring.
During these shoulder seasons, temperatures are pleasantly mild, typically ranging from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for sightseeing and enjoying outdoor activities. There's also less chance of the extreme heat experienced in summer or the colder temperatures of winter.
Spring brings blooming desert flora, which can add to the scenic beauty of the region, especially if you're planning excursions to nearby natural attractions. Autumn offers similar agreeable temperatures, often with clear skies, great for exploring the ancient Silk Road sites around Turkmenabat or visiting the local bazaars without the intense heat.
These periods are particularly good for travellers interested in history and culture, as you can comfortably visit sites like the mausoleum of Alamberdar or the Dayahatyn Caravanserai.
