Forecasters reported that on October 23, unfavorable meteorological conditions (UMC) are expected in only one city in Kazakhstan — Aktobe. 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 UMC occur, deterioration of atmospheric air quality in populated areas is possible, which affects people's health.
One of the most important factors determining the formation of pollution levels is the forecast of the synoptic situation (wind, precipitation, humidity, air temperature).
Earlier, Kursiv wrote that for October 23, forecasters announced a storm warning in several regions of Kazakhstan due to snowfall, blizzard, ice and wind gusts up to 30 m/s.
