Clima em Cotã em novembro

Silk Road forum posters describe southern Xinjiang, Hotan included, as milder than the rest of the region in spring - 'not too cold, not hot' was how one traveler put it, with daytime temperatures climbing into the high teens C even while nights stay near freezing. The advice that comes up repeatedly is to pack a proper coat, hat and gloves for mornings and evenings, then layer down as the day warms. What the forums don't dwell on but Hotan's own air quality record makes clear is that this Taklamakan-desert-edge city sees genuinely poor air on dusty days, a real factor to plan around beyond just temperature.

Forum posters consistently name July through September as the best window for exploring the Silk Road route through Xinjiang, describing conditions as not too hot with the region's scenery at its best this time of year. Posters specifically note that Hotan, along with Kashgar and Aksu in southern Xinjiang, tends to run neither too hot nor too cold compared to other parts of the region - a real contrast to nearby high-altitude spots like Karakul Lake, where daytime temperatures around 22-23C can drop sharply after dark, calling for warm layers if staying overnight there. Posters generally recommend starting a westbound September itinerary early in the month to comfortably reach the Kashgar area before the October 1st holiday crowds arrive.
