Weather forecasters warned residents of Almaty, Aktobe, Atyrau, Petropavlovsk, Kokshetau and Ust-Kamenogorsk about increased air pollution on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Unfavorable meteorological conditions are a combination of short-term meteorological factors (calm, weak wind, fog, inversion) that contribute to the accumulation of harmful (polluting) substances in the surface layer of atmospheric air.
When NMU occur, deterioration in atmospheric air quality in populated areas is possible, which affects people's health.
One of the most important factors determining the formation of the pollution level is the forecast of the synoptic situation (wind, precipitation, humidity, air temperature).
Earlier, Kursiv wrote that Kazakhstanis were warned about frosts down to 4 degrees, precipitation, fog and strong wind.
