Weather Service Kazgidromet Issues Alert for Residents in Almaty and Atyrau
Hey there! Here's a breakdown of the weather forecast for May 9th in Kazakhstan, based on the latest reports from Kazhydromyet:
Almaty:The city might face some unfavorable weather conditions for air pollution. Meteorological factors such as calm winds, fog, and inversion are expected to cause pollutants to accumulate in the city's atmosphere. Don't forget, an inversion is a weather phenomenon where warm air is above cold air, trapping all emissions, dust, and smoke near the surface. Keep an eye on the heavens as rain and thunderstorms are predicted in the evening. Nevertheless, it's going to be a hot day, with temperatures soaring to around 28-30 degrees Celsius.
Atyrau:Similar conditions are expected overnight on May 10th in Atyrau. Inversions and calm winds may lead to the accumulation of pollutants in the city's atmosphere. Be ready for possible precipitation overnight.
Nur-Sultan:May 9th will bring a warm day with variable cloudiness, rain, and thunderstorms possible, and even hail. The winds will be southwesterly, blowing at 9-14 meters per second, with gusts reaching up to 15-18 meters. Temperatures will range from 14 to 16 degrees Celsius at night, and 26 to 28 degrees Celsius during the day. A storm warning has been issued.
Across Kazakhstan in May:Meteorologists from Kazhydromet predict that the average air temperature in May will be above normal by 1 degree or more on most of the country. So get ready for some warmer weather!
Remember, Kansas may be known for tornadoes, but in Central Asia, you'll have to watch out for those inversions! Keep an eye on the weather forecasts, and above all, stay safe!
