A viral video from Kyzylorda is rapidly gaining popularity on the Kazakh internet, vividly demonstrating the harshness of the southern Kazakh summer. Local residents decided to test the July heat and cooked a full meal outdoors, using only the sun's energy. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.

A user under the nickname @darkhan_1988 posted the video on TikTok and instantly attracted the attention of Kazakhs.
"It's 58 degrees hot in Kyzylorda. Nothing helps. Don't go outside, stay at home," the author said.
In the video, men take an ordinary frying pan outside and place it on a hot surface. Then the author breaks eggs into it. After a short time, the egg white and yolk begin to cook just like on a regular home stove.
A heated debate erupted under the post. Traditionally, Kazakhs are divided into those who believe in the Kyzylorda "inferno" and those who suspect the authors of deception. Skeptics are sure that the pan was preheated on the stove and ask to break an egg on the asphalt.
Many commenters note that such temperature records are common for southern Kazakhstan, and similar videos are made every year.
