“The expected volume of spring flood runoff on the flat rivers of Kazakhstan is based on the data of hydrometeorological observations and measurements as of February 1, 2023. The main flood forecast will be made in March 2023. In the event of an increased temperature and heavy rains in February, high melt-rain floods may pass along the mountain rivers of the south, south-east and east of Kazakhstan, ” reads the preliminary forecast.
The map shows that only two regions - Pavlodar region and Ulytau are in the zone of medium risk in case of heavy precipitation in the form of rain, and only one region - Mangistau region is in the zone of low risk. All other regions are in the high-risk zone.
