Published 14.07.2023 June - the first month of summer began with an intense heat wave and surprised by ending the month in autumn with cool weather.
The first decade of June turned out to be abnormally hot, daytime air temperatures broke records of absolute highs of previous years. Such a high background of air temperature was associated with the steady removal of tropical air masses from the regions of Iran and Central Asia. For example, on June 4, the maximum air temperature of +38.2 ° C was recorded at the weather station (MS) Kostanay (Kostanay region), the last time such a record air temperature was observed in 1955 (+35.5 °C), on June 6, the maximum air temperature of +41.6 °C was recorded at the MS Kyzylorda (Kyzylorda region), the record of 2018 was blocked when the air temperature stopped at +38.7 °C, on June 7 at MS Petropavlovsk (North Kazakhstan region) the highest air temperature reached +38.0 °C, surpassing the record of 1998 (+34.9 °C), at Zhezkazgan MS (Ulytau region), the thermometer columns reached +40.6 °C, thereby updating the 1990 record (+40.6°C), on June 8 at Pavlodar MS (Pavlodar region), the absolute maximum was +40.0°C, thereby updating the 2010 record (+36.5 °C), at MS Ust-Kamenogorsk (East Kazakhstan region) the thermometer columns reached +37.1 °C, surpassing the record of 2008 (+35.1 °C), the maximum air temperature of +40.7 °C was observed in Turkestan (Turkestan region), thus the record of 1921 (+40.0 °C) was blocked, On June 9, the absolute maximum at MS Taraz (Zhambyl region) was +38.9 ° C, thus the record of 2013 was updated (+36.9 ° C).
In the second and third decades of June, the influx of cold air masses from the regions of the Northern Seas was gradually carried out, in connection with which a decrease in air temperature was observed:
in the west, north, east and center of the republic at night up to +5+15 °C, in the daytime up to +15+25 °C;
in the south-west, south and south-east of Kazakhstan at night up to +10+20 °C, during the day up to +25+35 °C.
The month of June was low-rainfall in most of the republic, however, heavy rains were observed in the west and north-west of the country on separate days, which was associated with the passage of cyclones and the aggravation of atmospheric fronts across the country. For example, heavy rains were observed: in the West Kazakhstan region, on June 6, MS Dzhangala had more than a monthly norm of 22 mm (norm of 21 mm), MS Kamenka - 48 mm (norm of 39 mm), on June 25, MS Chingirlau had almost a two-month norm of 43 mm (with a norm of 24 mm per month), On June 26, more than the monthly norm of 48 mm (norm of 37 mm) fell on MS Rudny (Kostanay region).
In Astana, during the month, the highest air temperature was recorded on June 6, the thermometer columns reached +38.4 ° C, thereby surpassing the record of 1939 (+35.7 ° C).
Precipitation for the month of June fell 24 mm, which was 60% of the norm, while the norm for the month was 40 mm.
