Rain is forecast in the west and north of the Akmola region, with thunderstorms expected during the day. Similarly, the Atyrau region is bracing for rain and thunderstorms, particularly in the west, north, and south, where heavy rain and hail are possible. The West Kazakhstan region is also set for rain and thunderstorms overnight, with conditions expected to remain unsettled throughout the day.
In addition to the rain, gusts of winds are expected to reach speeds of 15–20 m/s in the south, east, and central areas of Kazakhstan, while the Alakol Lakes area of the Zhetysu region may experience even stronger gusts of 23–28 m/s. This dynamic weather pattern is indicative of a broader trend, with intermittent rains interspersed with sunny intervals across most regions.
Observers note that the forecast indicates a significant shift in weather patterns, which could lead to varying impacts across the affected regions. The Central Highlands of Kenya, for instance, are projected to receive some of the heaviest rainfall, with totals ranging between 50 mm and over 120 mm in certain locations. Meanwhile, North-Eastern counties such as Mandera, Wajir, and Garissa are expected to receive light to moderate rainfall, generally between 10 mm and 50 mm.
As the rain continues to fall in Kazakhstan, dust storms are also expected during the day in the central, northern, and eastern parts of the Kyzylorda region. This combination of rain and dust storms presents a unique challenge for residents and local authorities, who must remain vigilant in monitoring weather conditions.
High fire danger persists in the north, west, and central parts of the Almaty region, highlighting the ongoing risks associated with fluctuating weather patterns. The interplay between rain and dry conditions can lead to increased fire hazards, necessitating caution among residents and emergency services alike.
With rainfall expected to persist across large parts of Kazakhstan over the next few days, the situation remains fluid. Authorities are advising residents to stay informed about weather updates and to prepare for potential disruptions caused by the storms.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the rainfall and its impacts on local communities. As the situation develops, observers will be closely monitoring the weather patterns to provide timely updates and guidance.
