Specialists of RSE Kazhydromet reported that on September 1, unfavorable meteorological conditions (UMC) are expected in three cities of Kazakhstan. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.

According to weather forecasters, on September 1, UMC are predicted in Uralsk, Atyrau, and Aktobe.

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, the quality of atmospheric air in populated areas may deteriorate, 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).
