Kazhydromet reported that on September 26 unfavorable meteorological conditions are expected in four cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Almaty, and at night in Aktobe, Ust-Kamenogorsk, and Atyrau. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
What are unfavorable meteorological conditions
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.
Possible consequences of unfavorable meteorological conditions
When unfavorable meteorological conditions occur, deterioration in atmospheric air quality in populated areas is possible, which affects people's health.
Factors determining pollution levels
One of the most important factors determining the formation of pollution levels is the forecast of the synoptic situation (wind, precipitation, humidity, air temperature).
Previously reported
Earlier, Kursiv wrote that night frosts are expected in six regions of Kazakhstan, rains with thunderstorms will occur in the south, and a dust storm will rise in the Kyzylorda region.
Thus, on September 26, residents of Almaty, Aktobe, Ust-Kamenogorsk, and Atyrau should be aware of possible deterioration in air quality.
