This climate definitely falls into a cold desert category that's bound not to please a certain member  I would reckon annual snowfall would be something around 50 cm.
Anyway...
C- for me.
Sunshine is all well, but summers are slightly too warm compared to my ideal, even though low humidity should make it rather acceptable. Winters have too little snowfall, and are too cold, although there should most likely be permanent snow on the ground for a couple of months at those temps. Still, I'd much rather have 4-5ยฐC milder means to be able to enjoy that snow cover. It's also too dry year-round, I'd like at least three times that precipitation. Being on a lakeshore, at least drinking water shouldn't be a problem, unless the Soviet government ruined the place... |

C, nice sunshine hrs and decent summers; however winter is too cold and it is in general too dry.

Decent temps overall throughout the year. Although winter record lows are on the cold side, the averages are pretty good.
The worst thing is obviously the lack of precipitation. Astana's 320mm is the bare minimum for such climates.

Polar winters but at least the summers and sunshine are respectable. However, that warm season is too short, and with a mere 138mm of rain, I can't imagine there's too many storms here.

More like 50in than 50cm. Denver averages lower precipitation in Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb, and this climate is much colder (nearly all winter precipitation will be snow + better snow/water ratio).

I doubt it, but it might get some lake-effect snow, fair enough. I used the 1 cm/1 mm formula, which should be accurate for most lowland locations like this one. |

I doubt lake-effect snow. Too dry and the lake probably freezes or get very cold early.

Just looked it up on Google Maps. No way would it receive lake-effect snow being on the north side of a lake. Either way, the cold winter temps probably means the lake is solidly frozen from December to March.

The average depffffffffffffff of the lake is like 3 m near Balkash City to add, lol.

Yeah and it's like 10 miles across lol. No way is that enough to generate any lake effect snow squalls, even on the downwind (south side) of the lake....

Yeah, thought so about the drought too. If anything, snowfall will be very light, but the light cover remains on the ground for several months since even the temperatures in the daytime sun does not go above freezing too often. The Rockies and other mountain ranges are completely different worlds compared to flat steppes. Anyway, my calculation was based upon zero lake influence whatsoever.
3 m deep? It must be boiling hot in July then...

That's weird since small lakes around here easily get to 28ยฐC LST's when they're that shallow during heat waves, and that is with cooler weather than there, whereas a bit larger lakes usually are able to get to 25-26ยฐC. Anyway, it is probably small enough to cool down a lot overnight, hence it could have significant diurnals just as the lakes here have. Given it is much smaller than Lake Michigan it would seem strange for it to have afternoon surface temps lower than what they are in Chicago, considering how summer air temps are rather similar.
Anyway, alex992 is the climate an A, B or lower for you? |
