Weather Baku has a subtropical semi-arid climate with warm and dry summers,

cool and occasionally wet winters, and strong winds all year long. However, unlike many other cities with this climate, Baku does not see extremely cold winter. Baku is located on a peninsula on the shore of

the Caspian Sea.

At the same time Baku is noted as a very windy city throughout the year, hence the city's nickname the "City of Winds", and gale-force winds, the cold northern wind khazri and the warm southern wind

gilavar are typical here in all seasons.

The cold season lasts from November 28 to March 26 with an average daily high temperature below 12 C

Azerbaijan: Azercell, Bakcell and Azerfon. Azercell, Bakcell and Azerfon offer 2G, 3G and 4G services. All three networks are widely modern and reliable with shops located in major towns and cities

where one can purchase a sim card or get assistance if needed. Most unlocked mobile phones are able to be used on roaming however

the help available in a variety of languages.
