The region has the lowest average temperature of all Turkish regions.(-25°C). Although it can get below -40°C. The summer average is about 20°C.
The region's annual temperature difference is the highest in Turkey.
Some areas in the region have different microclimates. As an example Iğdır (near Mount Ararat) has a milder climate.
The region contains 11% percent of the total forested area of Turkey. Oak and yellow pine trees form the majority of the forests. It is rich in native plants and animals.
