Traveller notes on Sheki in July
Other months in Sheki
There isn't much Sheki-specific forum detail for March, but the wider Azerbaijan threads are useful: Baku itself runs cold and cloudy in the 7-8C range this time of year, with wind and occasional rain, and posters specifically noted mountain towns like Sheki sit outside their peak season - most visitors favor the warmer summer months instead. One forum thread specifically asked about snow lingering into late March, which lines up with Sheki's own elevation-driven climate still carrying a real chance of snow this time of year. Pack a proper coat regardless of how mild Baku itself feels.
Forum posters describe conditions in Azerbaijan generally staying summer-like and sunny through about September 20th, with temperatures easing and rain becoming more likely afterward - meaning most of September should still deliver warm, settled weather in Sheki before any autumn shift. Posters note Sheki's surrounding mountain forests help shield the city from both flooding and the worst summer overheating, contributing to its reputation as a comfortable base. Posters visiting the wider region in early October specifically reported sunny, quite warm conditions with only one rainy morning, and generally rate September and October together as the ideal window for autumn travel through Sheki and the surrounding mountain villages.
