A reading on one thermometer at a Canadian military base is not
descriptive of the entire country.  It describes the temperature at the
place it is located at the time and date it is read.

Here is a better description of annual weather patterns in Afghanistan.

CLIMATE: Afghanistan has a continental dry climate with large
differences between day and night temperatures as well as quick
seasonal transitions. Summer temperatures in the plains can reach 46
degrees Celsius (115 degrees Fahrenheit) while in the higher plateaux
winter temperatures can fall to -26 degrees Celsius (-15 degrees
Fahrenheit). The "Winds of 120 Days" which occur between June to
September can have velocities of up to 180 kmph (108 mph) and the rainy
season is from October to April, although rainfall is very irregular.
Average temperature ranges in Kabul are from -8 to 2 degrees Celsius
(18 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit) in January to 16 to 33 degrees Celsius
(61 to 91 degrees Fahrenheit) in July.
