Almaty's Climate

Almaty sits at the foot of the Tian Shan mountains in southeastern Kazakhstan and has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Summers (June–August) are hot and fairly dry, with daytime highs of 28–32°C, while winters (December–February) are cold and snowy, often dropping below -10°C. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant, though rain showers peak in April–May, and the city's mountain-valley setting traps polluted air during winter temperature inversions. This page offers an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV index and air quality (AQI).

Frequently asked questions

Does it snow in Almaty, and when?

Yes. Almaty has snowy winters, with snow typically arriving in November and lasting into March, heaviest from December to February. Snow lingers far longer on the nearby slopes, supporting skiing at the Shymbulak resort.

What are the hottest and coldest months in Almaty?

July is the hottest month, with daytime highs around 30–32°C, while January is the coldest, averaging roughly -4 to -8°C and turning much sharper during cold-air outbreaks.

When is the best time to visit Almaty?

Late April to June and September are ideal: warm, dry weather, green or golden foliage, and noticeably cleaner air than in the winter months.

Is air quality a concern in Almaty?

In winter, the valley location and temperature inversions trap smog and push the AQI up. It's worth checking the AQI in the forecast, especially on calm, windless days.
