Meteo Kashgar in novembre

Forum posters describe March in Kashgar as gradually warming, with late-March-into-early-April temperatures typically cited around 15-20C during the day. Posters are direct that spring travel elsewhere in Xinjiang can still bring genuinely cold surprises - one traveler reported snow in nearby Ürümqi during an early April visit despite it technically being spring. Posters consistently flag March as sandstorm season for eastern Xinjiang and the neighboring Hexi Corridor in Gansu, generally recommending May as a more reliable alternative if avoiding that risk matters. Posters generally recommend warm layers regardless of the daytime warming trend, given how much cooler mornings, evenings and higher-elevation stops can run this early in spring. Posters generally rate March as a workable but still transitional, occasionally dusty time to visit Kashgar.

Forum posters name July through September as the best stretch for exploring the Silk Road cities - not too hot, with scenery at its best - though posters heading to nearby high-altitude spots like Karakul Lake note it can still turn glorious and sunny by day (low-20sC) while temperatures drop sharply after dark, making warm layers essential for any side trip outside the city itself. Early-to-mid September specifically gets recommended as the sweet spot before conditions shift heading into October, with one poster describing planning a westbound route that reaches the Kashgar area before October 1 as comfortably workable.
