ArmInfo. From May 1 to July 1, 2025, the level of Lake Sevan is predicted to increase by 24-25 cm, which, however, will be 13 cm less than the same indicator of the previous year. Levon Azinyan, Director of the Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center of the RA Ministry of Environment, announced this at a press conference in April.
According to him, during the specified period of 2024, the level of Lake Sevan increased by 42 cm. Azinyan noted that by the end of this year, the "mirror" of Lake Sevan will be 1900.36 - 1900.43 meters, which compared to January 2025 will be within the range of -3-+2 meters.
Observations of weather conditions show, Azinyan continued, that the fullness of the five largest reservoirs of the republic will be generally within the norm. In particular, it is predicted that the Akhuryan reservoir will be 100% full, Arpilich - 55-60%, Aparan - 45-50%, Azat - 85-90%, Marmarik - 95-100%.
The forecaster noted that during 2025, the volumes of spring water flows in Armenia are predicted to be within 55-90% of the norm. The largest volumes of water flows are expected in the first and second decades of May.
In general, as Azinyan noted, in October-November 2024, the amount of precipitation was above the norm, and in November - below. On average, the snow cover reached 55 mm, which is only 49% of the norm. Thus, the past winter period turned out to be the "driest" in the history of meteorological observations, which began in 1935. The "driest" was January, when the amount of precipitation was only 18% of the norm, which was the second case in the history of meteorological observations since 1999. In September 2024 and February 2025, the monthly amount of precipitation was 45% and 79%, respectively. Moreover, in a number of regions, no precipitation was observed at all for 35-40 days. As of March 25 of this year, snow cover was observed in the republic only in highland areas at an altitude of 1800 meters, with the exception of some regions of Lori and Tavush regions. As for the forecasts for April - June of this year, during this period the temperature background in the republic will be above normal, and the amount of precipitation in April - May will be within normal limits, in June - lower.
