Climate Chart of Astana, Kazakhstan

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean occurs in January, at -13.9 °C; this is a monthly average, not a measure of the coldest individual day. At the other end of the pattern, July has the highest monthly mean, 20.7 °C. The difference between these monthly averages marks a substantial shift through the year, while the unweighted mean across calendar-month means is 4.1 °C. None of these averages specifies typical daytime highs or the range of temperatures within a month.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in November, at 6.82 mm/day, while the unweighted mean across calendar-month means is 2.53 mm/day. These figures describe average daily amounts, not snowfall totals for an entire month. They also cannot establish how many days have snow, its depth or persistence, or whether snow conditions suit a particular activity.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in January, at 0.01 mm/day, and reaches its monthly high in July, at 1.93 mm/day. These are daily mean amounts, not monthly totals; the lowest average does not guarantee rain-free days, and the highest does not describe how often rain falls. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall averages is 0.71 mm/day, offering a broad reference rather than a forecast for a particular date.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine reaches its high in June, at 12.75 hours/day, and its low in December, at 3.02 hours/day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted average is 8.01 hours/day hours per day. Sunshine duration can help indicate the monthly pattern for outdoor plans, but it is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear skies on a given day.
