Frequent change of cyclones and anticyclones, intense heat removal from the Black and Mediterranean Seas, cold inflows from Scandinavia, Western and Eastern Siberia can cause sudden changes in air temperature and unstable weather in Kazakhstan in March. It is reported by ElDala.kz with reference to the forecast of Kazhydromet.
According to weather forecasters, in the middle of the first decade of March, warm spring weather will please the residents of most regions of Kazakhstan for a short time. The average monthly air temperature in March, in most of the country, is expected to be above the climatic norm by 1-2°C, near the norm - in the West Kazakhstan region and in the extreme north-west of Atyrau region. The amount of precipitation in March is expected to be near the norm in most of the territory of the republic, more than the norm in the northwestern part of Kazakhstan.
At the beginning of the first decade of March, with the influence of the western anticyclone and the strengthening of the Siberian anticyclone, a short-term decrease in air temperature is predicted in most of the republic.
The air temperature will drop at night: in the west, northwest to -5-15°C, in the north, center and east to -15-25°C, in the southern regions of the country to -3-11°C.
The main background of daytime air temperatures: in the north-west of the country will be -3+2°С, in the northern half of Kazakhstan -3-8°С, in the southern half +8+15°С, in the extreme south up to +20°С.
It is reported that in the middle of the decade, the weather in most of the territory of Kazakhstan will be determined by cyclones from the Mediterranean Sea and Novaya Zemlya. Precipitation will pass, in the northern regions in the form of rain and snow, sometimes blowing snow, in the southern regions it will mostly rain, in the west, in mountainous and foothill areas, heavy precipitation will occur. Strengthening of the wind is expected with gusts up to 15-25 meters per second, dust storms are predicted in the southwest. Fog and ice phenomena are not excluded.
After a cold wave, a short-term increase in air temperature is expected. In the northern, central and eastern regions of the country - at night up to 0.-8 ° C in the daytime up to 0. + 5 ° C, in the southern half of the country - at night up to + 2 + 10 ° C in the daytime up to + 13 + 20 ° C. And only in the west of the country is expected a slight decrease in air temperature during the day to 0.-8°C.
At the end of the decade, with the movement of the western anticyclone, precipitation is expected to stop and the air temperature to drop again: in the northern half at night to -10-17°C, in the daytime to -5-10°C, in the southern half at night to 0.-8°C , during the day up to +3+8°С.
In the second and third decades of the month, unstable weather, with precipitation (rain, snow), increased wind is expected mainly in the northern, central and eastern regions of the country, which will be associated with the frequent passage of atmospheric frontal sections. Fog, ice are often predicted for most of Kazakhstan. Fluctuations in air temperature are expected: in the western regions at night from -7-15°С to -2+3°С, in the daytime from +3+8°С to +16+21°С, in the northern, central and eastern regions of the republic at night from -12-23°С to 0.+5°С, in the daytime from -1-6°С to +11+16°С, in the south, southeast at night from -3-8°С to +5+10 °С, during the day from -4+1°С to +18+23°С.
