However, a significant drop in air temperature is also possible. With inflows of cold air masses from the Taimyr regions in the northern, central and eastern regions of the republic, thermometer columns can drop at night to -20-30 ° C, in the daytime to -10-18 ° C, in the north-western part of the country at night to -10-18 ° С, in the daytime up to -7-12 ° С, in the southern half of the Republic of Kazakhstan at night up to -7-12 ° С, in places up to -15-20 ° С, in the daytime up to -2-13 ° С.
