Kazakhstanwhen to go
Kazakhstan's national averages run from -6 °C in January to 30 °C in July, with rainfall between 25 mm in February and 38 mm in May and 3.5–9.0 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are June, August and May. Its 16 regions span 8–19 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal. Kazakhstan is large enough that the map paints it as a mosaic of its regions rather than one national colour; the figures above are the mean of those regions.
