Climate Chart of Almaty, Kazakhstan

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January, at -4.3 °C, and highest in July, at 24.3 °C. These are monthly averages rather than daytime maximum temperatures, so they do not describe the full range of temperatures that may occur within a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 9.9 °C; it summarizes the calendar-month averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall has its highest monthly average in April, at 3.41 mm/day, and its lowest in January, at 0.21 mm/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly means is 1.29 mm/day. These are daily average amounts, not monthly totals; the lower figure identifies a relative option for visitors prioritising less average rainfall, but does not guarantee dry days or indicate how frequently rain occurs.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine is highest in July, at 12.68 hours/day, and lowest in December, at 6.06 hours/day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted average is 9.16 hours/day per day. These averages can help with planning for daylight outdoor activities, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a particular day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly average in February, at 6.70 mm/day; the unweighted mean across the monthly means is 2.57 mm/day. These daily averages do not show how many days receive snow, how deep it becomes, or whether snow cover persists, so they cannot establish conditions for skiing or other snow-dependent activities.

If lower average rainfall is your priority, January is the conditional option in the supplied monthly figures, with mean daily rainfall of 0.21 mm/day. Pack with the higher-rainfall average in mind for April, at 3.41 mm/day per day; neither average predicts rain frequency or guarantees the weather on your travel dates. For visitors seeking cooler monthly-average conditions, January is the relevant reference point, with a mean temperature of -4.3 °C. The warmest monthly mean is in July, at 24.3 °C; these are not daytime highs, so check forecasts closer to travel and plan clothing for changing daily conditions. For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine, July records 12.68 hours/day per day, while December records 6.06 hours/day. Treat these as sunshine-duration averages rather than day-length figures or promises of clear skies, and keep plans flexible.

Snowfall averages are most relevant to visitors considering winter activities: the highest monthly mean daily amount is in February, at 6.70 mm/day. This does not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth or lasting cover, so check current local conditions before making plans that depend on snow.
