Abstract
The article views the characteristics of mountain-valley winds in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and the processes of the emergence of instant gusts of these winds.

Depending on the complex geographical conditions of the region, the characteristics of mountain-valley winds, their curvilinear flow around mountain valleys and narrow passages, and the dynamics of wind speed were analyzed, and the results of scientific research conducted to determine the current wind potential of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic were shown.

The results of the scientific research conducted on the causes and development of the instant wind gusts in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic have been shown. The impact of sudden wind gust on the environment was analyzed.

The researches caried out fully confirm the existence of the instant wind gust in the territory of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and how dangerous it is.

 Keywords: mountain-valley winds, instant wind gust, shower, thunderstorm, vortex, air temperature, relief of the area.
