Almaty's utility services have been transitioned to an enhanced operational mode.

Starting February 26, Almaty is expected to experience precipitation: initially rain, followed by wet snow by the evening. This wet weather is forecasted to cease by the morning of February 27, according to Bizmedia.kz, citing the city administration.
Almaty's utility services have been transitioned to an enhanced operational mode.

The temperature will drop to -3…-5°C at night and rise to +1…+3°C during the day.

Due to the worsening weather conditions, municipal services are switching to an enhanced operational mode. Before the snowfall begins, roads will be treated with anti-icing agents, and 624 units of special equipment along with 1380 road workers will be deployed.

Additionally, 46 emergency teams will patrol potentially hazardous areas—inclines, declines, and exits from interchanges—to prevent the formation of ice. The situation is being monitored around the clock in the district akimats.

Recommendations for residents:

  • Drivers should reduce speed, increase following distance, and avoid sudden maneuvers.
  • Pedestrians should remain attentive and cautious on slippery sidewalks.
