On February 4, 2026, unfavorable meteorological conditions (UMC) are expected in three cities of Kazakhstan, Kazinform reports with reference to the Kazhydromet State Enterprise.
According to weather forecasters, on February 4, NMUs are predicted in the cities of Astana, Karaganda, and Temirtau.
Adverse weather conditions are a combination of short-term meteorological factors (calm, light wind, fog, inversion) that contribute to the accumulation of harmful (polluting) substances in the surface layer of atmospheric air.
When NMU occurs, the quality of atmospheric air in populated areas may deteriorate, which affects people’s health.
One of the most important factors determining the level of pollution is the forecast of the synoptic situation (wind, precipitation, humidity, air temperature).
In case of unfavorable weather conditions it is recommended:
- Reduce time spent outdoors, especially near highways or other sources of pollution. Children and pregnant women should avoid long walks;
- People suffering from chronic lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and allergic diseases must have the necessary medications with them when outdoors;
- Limit physical activity outdoors. Conduct physical education and sports activities in indoor sports facilities.
Earlier, forecasters issued a storm warning for 15 regions of Kazakhstan on February 4.
