After a warm autumn, Kazakhstanis will feel the first breath of winter. Already on December 09, a northern anticyclone will rapidly break into the northwestern and northern regions. Fueled by cold air masses, it will bring an end to precipitation and a sharp drop in air temperature, first in the northern half of the country, and then throughout Kazakhstan. Thermometers in the northern regions will drop to 22-30 degrees Celsius at night, to 27-35 degrees celsius in the east, and to 10-20 degrees celsius in the south and southeast.
