On July 22, 2026, two cities in Kazakhstan will be shrouded in smog, reports infohub.kz. Unfavorable meteorological conditions are expected in Aktobe and, during the nighttime hours, in Atyrau.
According to forecasts from Kazhydromet, these conditions will trap pollutants near the ground, potentially worsening air quality. Residents, particularly those with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, are advised to limit time spent outdoors.
