December became Armenia’s warmest month in 100 years of recordkeeping, Deputy Director of the Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center Gagik Surenyan said on Friday.

“Temperatures will remain abnormally high and no precipitation is forecasted across the country in the next five days," Surenyan said.

"In case hot air masses flow into Armenia in January, temperatures may reach 16C-20C in Lori, Tavush and Syunik valleys,” he added.
