Overview

Climatological analysis reveals rising extreme temperatures and prolonged heat waves across regional weather stations, highlighting pronounced spatial heterogeneity in warming trends.

Key Points

Assess modern spatial and temporal trends in extreme temperature and precipitation events across Kazakhstan from 1971 to 2020 using standardized climate indices.
Analyzed historical daily meteorological data collected across 42 weather stations spanning 1971 to 2020.
Calculated standardized climate extreme indices recommended by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Commission for Climatology, including the Warm Spell Duration Index (WSDI) and Cold Spell Duration Index (CSDI).
WSDI and CSDI trends confirmed a widespread warming pattern marked by an increased duration of heat waves and a shortened duration of cold waves.
Significant spatial heterogeneity emerged, showing extreme temperature increases concentrated primarily in southwestern regions for daytime highs and night lows, whereas trends were localized or insignificant elsewhere.
Precipitation indices and trends in the maximum duration of dry periods remained weak and statistically insignificant across the majority of stations.
