Tengrinews.kz - Meteorologists have dismissed viral claims about an upcoming extreme heatwave in Kazakhstan, calling them false, according to Stopfake.kz.
"Once every 60 years"
A widely shared WhatsApp message has been circulating among Kazakhstani users, warning of unprecedented summer heat reaching 40–50°C across Europe and parts of Central Asia. The message claims such weather occurs only once every 60 years and will affect Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.
What meteorologists are saying
Kazhydromet, Kazakhstan’s national weather service, has officially denied the rumor.
“The information that Kazakhstan is expecting abnormal heat is not true. We urge the public to trust only official sources and not unverified reports from the internet,” the agency said in a statement.
What will the weather be like in Kazakhstan in the summer of 2025?
Earlier, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Yerlan Nyssanbayev shared what the weather is expected to be like in Kazakhstan this summer. According to him, in June, temperatures in the north and center of the country will range from 17 to 20°C, while in the south and west they may reach up to 28°C. In some areas of the southwest, heat of up to 45°C is possible.
Precipitation in June and July will be within the normal range, though slightly above average in the north, south, and southeast. In August and September, little rainfall is expected, and temperatures will be about 1°C higher than usual. The forecast is preliminary and subject to change.
