Bonus Insight: Kazakhstan's unique geographical location between the Caspian and Aral Sea basins, along with influences from the Siberian High and Taklamakan Desert, results in a diverse range of weather patterns, making accurate forecasting somewhat challenging[3]. June's unstable weather often brings cool and hot spells, rain (at times heavy), thunderstorms, hail, squally winds, and dust storms[3]. However, on June 29 specifically, most regions are predicted to have dry weather with warm to hot daytime temperatures and moderate winds[3].
Stay safe and weather wisely, folks!
