| Climate and Weather |
The lack of moderating bodies of water make Kazakhstan’s climate extremely continental and very dry. Seasonal temperatures are polarised and vary depending on the region. Average winter temperatures during the day are-16°C to -18°C in the far north and about-6°C in the south; summer temperatures average 21°C in the north and 81°F (27°C) in the south. Snow starts to fall around November and the mountain passes fill with snow until April, sometimes even May. Climbers are advised to visit in summer when the mountain temperatures are at their best. |
