The Climate of Mountainous Kyrgyzstan The climatic conditions of the country are determined by the peculiarities of its geographical location and relief. In the Kyrgyz Tian Shan, as a high mountain system, almost all types of climate marked on the globe are found, except for tropical and equatorial. Located in the subtropical latitude zone within a vast continent, the territory of the republic is far from the paths of moist air masses. The local climatic conditions of the country are greatly

The peculiarities of Kyrgyzstan's climate are explained by the fact that the country is essentially located at the intersection of several climatic zones. Most of the territory is in a dry temperate zone, part of the foothills has a sharply continental climate, and the high-altitude areas have winter temperatures similar to those of the tundra.

In the central part of the Chui Valley (the capital Bishkek), the average annual sunshine duration is 2584 hours, which is more than in Almaty (by 6-13%) and less than in Cholpon-Ata (2613 hours) and Karakol (2657 hours).

The mechanism of action of climatic factors is based on the reflex-humoral principle, where climatic factors, by acting on receptors, reflexively influence the
