Afghanistan Weather is characterized by dry hot cloudless summers and severe winters. The areas lying in the northeastern part of the mountains experience sub-arctic conditions having dry, cold winters.

The Afghanistan weather is marked by great variance in temperatures from region to region. It is accompanied by huge differences in day and night temperatures and summer and winter temperatures. The drought-ridden regions of the southwestern plateau experience daytime temperatures of 35 degree Celsius. Jalalabad is among the hottest places in the country recording the maximum temperature of 49 degree Celsius in the month of July. January temperatures fall to -15°C or below in regions situated at high altitudes in the mountains.
 
There is a rise in the mean precipitation as one goes from the western side to the eastern side of the mountains, the average being 400mm in the southeastern monsoon areas. Mostly, the precipitation takes place from December to April. Highlands experience snowfall during December-March and the lowlands experience intermittent rainfall from December to May.

According to an investigation by the Emergency Response Committee (ERC) last year, two million Afghans would be vulnerable to winter calamities this winter.

Addressing the Wolesi Jirga, the Committee said it had the capability of meeting challenges during the winter in terms of disaster management and relief delivery.

Some highways and roads would be blocked due to heavy snowfalls in the winter, which would make it difficult to access food and other commodities.

The Committee was called upon to draw up an effective plan to keep highway and roads open during the snowfall season.

Around 81 million AFN is allocated to ensure provision of food and medical supplies in case of need.

I am so sorry..horrible things happen here recently and the New president caused it.

KABUL, Afghanistan - Two Americans were among seven people killed in a massive car bomb near the U.S Embassy in the Afghan capital Tuesday, a U.S military official said. One of the U.S citizens was a service member, the other a civilian, the official said. Earlier the the NATO-led coalition known as ISAF released a statement confirming three of its personnel died in the blast, which apparently targeted an international military convoy in Kabul. ISAF did not release the nationalities of those killed.

An Afghan police officer on the scene told NBC News that two ISAF vehicles were destroyed in the blast, which also killed at least four Afghan civilians and injured more than 20 people. Security forces cordoned off the chaotic scene amid blaring ambulance sirens minutes after the 8:10 a.m (11:40 p.m ET on Monday) explosion. The Taliban said the attack had been carried out by one of its members driving a Toyota Corolla. A disputed presidential election and the looming withdrawal of most foreign troops by the end of the year have raised tensions in the country.

You certainly couldn't have missed her/

She's the one in her first pair of high-heeled shoes/
