Weather conditions in Kazakhstan from March to June

physical geography

It covers an area of 2.7249 million square kilometers. It is a landlocked country in Central Asia, with the Caspian Sea in the west and a long coastline of 1730 km. It borders China and Xinjiang in the southeast, Russia in the north and Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan in the south. Mostly plains and lowlands. It has a continental climate, with an average temperature of-19℃ to -4℃ in June and 19℃ to 26℃ in July. Turan lowlands and Caspian coastal lowlands are located in the southwest. The central and eastern parts belong to Kazakh hills, and the eastern edge is mountainous. Semi-desert and desert areas account for about 60% of the total area. Temperate continental climate. The annual precipitation in plain area is about 100 ~ 300mm, and it can reach 800 ~ 1 500mm in mountainous area. The river network is scarce. The main rivers are Irtysh River (upper reaches of China), Syr Darya River, Ili River and Chu River. There are lakes such as Balkhash Lake.

From the natural geological situation, Kazakhstan does not occupy all favorable positions: far from the warm ocean, most of its territory is located in desert and semi-desert areas, and many areas have serious water shortage problems. Kazakhstan has a vast territory and obvious differences in natural conditions. The natural conditions in northern Kazakhstan are similar to those in central Russia and southern Britain, while those in southern Kazakhstan are similar to those in Transcaucasia and Mediterranean countries in southern Europe. There are both lowlands tens of meters below sea level and towering mountains. The snow and glaciers on the top of the mountain will not melt for many years. More than 1/4 of Kazakhstan is grassland, 1/2 is desert and semi-desert, and the rest is mountains and lakes.

Far from the sea, the vast territory and its geographical location determine the remarkable continental and zonal characteristics of Kazakhstan's climate. Almost the whole country is under the control of strong winds.
