Advisory weather forecast for the season

The weather forecast for spring in Kazakhstan for 2025.

According to the advisory long-term weather forecast in March -May, the temperature background in Kazakhstan will be warmer than usual, i.e. 1-2 degrees above normal, but periods with low air temperatures are not excluded.

The transition season can be extremely unstable due to frequent changes in weather patterns, so nature can bring surprises in spring. For example, with the influx of cold air masses, there may be snowfall, in the northern regions with a blizzard, with Arctic incursions, frosts are likely. With intense heat removal from the regions of Central Asia, summer-like hot weather may set in, especially in April and May. Last year, for example, in mid-April, warm summer weather was established in most regions of the republic, when the temperature columns reached +22+30 ° C.    

The following precipitation distribution is forecast during the spring period:

- in March, precipitation is forecast to exceed normal in most of the republic, and about normal in the southwestern half of the country (in Mangystau, most of Kyzylorda, Turkestan, northwestern Zhambyl region, southern Aktobe and Ulytau regions);

- in April, it is expected to be about normal in most of the republic, more than normal in the northwestern half of the republic (in most of Aktobe, Kostanay, North Kazakhstan regions, in the northeast of West Kazakhstan and in the northwest of Akmola region);

- in May, it is expected to be about the norm in most of the territory of Kazakhstan, less than the norm in the southwestern part and in the center of the country (in Mangystau, Ulytau, Karaganda, most of the Kyzylorda, southern Aktobe, northern Turkestan, Zhambyl and Almaty regions), more than the norm in the far north -in the west, in mountainous, foothill areas of the south, southeast, and east of the country (in the northwest of West Kazakhstan, Aktobe, Kostanay, and North Kazakhstan regions, as well as in mountainous and foothill areas of the south and southeast, and east of the country).

For reference: the seasonal weather forecast is issued six times a year: 1 forecast for the warm half-year, 1 forecast for the cold half-year, which are updated by 4 quarterly forecasts for winter, spring, summer and autumn in 17 regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan:
