Kazakhstan's weather service has issued a storm warning for a number of regions covering Saturday, 24 October. Forecasters at Kazhydromet expect snow in places and frosts that could drag temperatures down to minus 7 degrees. News outlet NUR.KZ passed on the alert with reference to the national meteorological agency. The warned zones stretch across several parts of the country, so conditions will not be identical everywhere. Overnight icing is likely on roads, and snowfall can cut visibility for drivers. Frosts of this depth in late October can also complicate outdoor work and damage lingering crops. People in the affected areas are being urged to prepare for the sharp dip in temperature. Forecasters are expected to refine the picture as the day approaches.
