• The climate
• The climate of Kazakhstan is amazing.
It spans four climatic zones: steppe,
forest steppe, desert and semi-desert.
The remoteness from oceans and its
large area affect weather conditions. It
can be severely cold in the north and
stifling hot in the south.
• Such contrasts are common throughout
the country. The shortest season is
spring. It lasts only 1,5 months. Over
80% of the territory belongs to inland
areas. However, there are 8500 large
and small rivers, including Irtysh,
Ishim, Tobol, Karatal, Ural, Syr Darya.
Many small or medium-sized rivers
dry up in summer.
