Kazakhstan is bracing for a significant heatwave, with meteorologists reporting severe temperature increases. The national weather service, Kazhydromet, has issued warnings for 14 regions, stating that temperatures may soar to an extreme 43 degrees Celsius in certain areas.

The Zhetysu region will initially face a steep rise in temperature, with predicted highs reaching between 35 and 39 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the Turkistan region should prepare for even hotter conditions, as temperatures are set to spike into the 40 to 43 degrees Celsius range.

In contrast to the oppressive heat expected in most regions, meteorologists have also warned of thunderstorms in areas like Zhetysu, Aktobe, Akmola, Abai, and East Kazakhstan.

The situation is complicated by expected thunderstorms in several regions, indicating a challenging mix of severe weather conditions.
