March weather forecast
Kazakhstan

In March, Kazakhstan begins the gradual transition from winter to spring. The temperatures during this month rise slowly but steadily from the lows of February. Particularly in the northeastern city of Birlestik, the average temperatures in March fluctuate between -5°C (23°F) to 5°C (41°F). Despite this increase, the remnants of the winter season still hold, and colder days, especially in the early part of the month, are common.

When comparing the climate to the previous month, February, the rise in temperature is a notable shift. However, it is essential to keep in mind that this warming is a gradual process, and cold, wintery conditions can still prevail, especially during the first half of the month. While the frequency of snowfall decreases compared to February, occasional snow events can still occur.

As the month progresses, Kazakhstan edges closer to the warmer temperatures of the spring season. April promises a more significant rise in temperature, with average highs starting to reach double digits. Nevertheless, March stands as a transitional month, bearing the vestiges of the frigid winter while also heralding the arrival of spring. It is a time when the first signs of new life start appearing in the country's flora and fauna, a promising indicator of the warmer days to come.
