Residents in Astana advised to brace for unfavorable weather conditions on May 9th

Saturday Weather Warnings: Get Ready for Thunderstorms and Hail in Astana, Almaty, and More

Brace yourselves, Astana residents! Your phones are ringing off the hook with severe weather alerts for May 9.

The weather forecast reveals some exciting (or nerve-wracking, depending on your perspective) news. Kazhydromet predicts thunderstorms and hail in Astana on the 9th. Prepare for gusty winds from the southwest, blowing up to 15-18 meters per second during the day.

A storm warning has already been issued in Astana, according to the city's Emergency Situations Department. And it's not just Astana that's in for a wild ride—the Akmola region is expected to face thunderstorms, too. Keep a weather eye out for hail in the west, north, and south of the region.

Things don't seem to be much calmer in Kokshetau, where fog is looming at night and in the morning, with thunderstorms and hail making an appearance during the day.

Interestingly, meteorologists previously reported that overall temperatures across the country in May should hover around 1 degree above normal[1]. But don't let that lull you into a false sense of security—the weather can be finicky, with unstable conditions ahead.

So what can you do to prepare? Keep yourself updated with the latest weather alerts, dress appropriately, and perhaps consider rescheduling any outdoor plans for another day.
