Kashgar Weather in June
Season: Summer
Average Temperature: 16-30°C (61-86°F)
In June, the low-altitude areas of Kashgar experience hot daytime as summer arrives: except for a few days with highs of around 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86 degrees Fahrenheit), most days see daily highs reaching 32-34°C (90-93°F), occasionally climbing to 36-38°C (97-100°F). It’s worth noting that the apparent temperature often is higher due to the region’s intense ultraviolet radiation this month. Mornings and evenings, however, offer pleasant temperature ranging from 15 to 20°C (59-68°F), neither cold nor hot.
High-altitude regions become summer retreats. For instance, in June, daily highs in Taxkorgan County typically hover around 15-20°C (59-68°F), rarely exceeding 25°C (77°F), offering a refreshingly cool and comfortable climate. However, much like low-altitude areas, the daily temperature variation here reaches significant 10-15°C (18-27°F). So, mornings and evenings can be slightly cold.
On average, there are only 11 mm of precipitation in Kashgar in June, scattered across 4 days.
In June, precipitation primarily takes place in the form of rain in both high-altitude and low-altitude regions. However, the rain shows up a bit more frequently and is prone to be heavier in high-altitude areas. In other words, when visiting low-altitude areas, you don’t have to worry about rainy days disrupting your plans. But if you plan to visit high-altitude regions in Kashgar in June, it is necessary to check the weather forecast in advance to avoid rainy days.
Due to low precipitation, high temperature, and rapid evaporation, this month’s air humidity is very low, at only 34%.
Sunrise: 07:28 - 07:32
Sunset: 22:17 - 22:27
In June, you have an average of 15 hours of daylight time to travel around per day, the longest level of the 12 months. The sunshine hours are also quite long, at around 10 per day on average.
The UV index reaches a maximum of 11 this month, a level that you will feel a burning sensation after being exposed in sun for only about 5 minutes. Therefore, you should avoid the sunniest hours of the day for outdoor activities whenever possible. When you do go out, take adequate sun protection measures and, if possible, walk in shaded areas with cover.

Clothes: When visiting low-altitude areas during the daytime, short-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants are sufficient. To prevent the harm of the strong UV rays, add a thin shirt or sun-protective jacket. Females can also wear long dresses. In the evenings, you need to layer up with a denim jacket or outerwear of the similar thickness. Besides, long dresses will make you feel cold and need to be changed. For high-altitude areas, wear a long-sleeve or short-sleeve T-shirt as your base layer, topped with the shell of a 3-in-1 jacket. For the lower body, jeans or sweatpants are both suitable. If you plan to go out at night, be sure to add the inner lining of the 3-in-1 jacket.
Shoes: Lightweight sneakers and walking shoes are advised. Casual shoes are also OK, but remember to bring comfortable ones. If you are sensitive to heat, you can also bring sandals for attractions like Kashgar Old Town.
Others: Wearing a sun-protective shirt alone is not sufficient to block strong ultraviolet rays, and you also need a sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Besides, considering the dry weather of Kashgar, don’t forget to bring moisturizer and lip balm.
In June, higher-altitude areas like the Pamir Plateau with refreshingly cool daytime temperature, and stunning landscapes including lush green grasslands, vibrant wildflowers, and azure lakes are ideal places to visit.
In contrast, low-altitude areas with hot climate are less favorable for travel. If you do visit these areas, especially toward the end of the month, try to plan outdoor attractions for the cooler periods from 08:00 to 10:00 and after 20:00. During other hotter periods, especially from 14:00-18:00, exploring indoor attractions like the Kashgar Museum or seeking out a local restaurant to savor regional cuisine would be better choices.
1. In June, tourist numbers increase, especially in the Pamir Plateau region. Though it’s not huge, you are advised to book accommodations in advance. This not only ensures a smoother trip but also helps you save some money.
2. There is a possibility of dusty weather in June, though the likelihood is low. If it occurs, it is recommended to reduce outdoor activities. If the dust isn’t severe and you still decide to go out, visit cultural landmarks instead of natural ones, as their beauty is less affected by the weather. Also, remember to wear a mask.
3. Cherries, cantaloupes, watermelons, and other fruits begin ripening this month. Thanks to long hours of sunshine and the dry climate of Kashgar, the fruits here taste very sweet. If you visit Kashgar in June 2026, be sure to have a try.
