Cyclone approaching: Kazakhstanis warned of snow, frost, and blizzards

Tengrinews.kz – Meteorologists from Kazhydromet have released the weather forecast for November 1, 2, 3, and 4.

According to the forecasters, the warm anticyclone that had been bringing dry and sunny weather is now leaving the country. It will be replaced by a northern cyclone, which will bring precipitation and a noticeable cold snap.
