The climate in Almaty is a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification: Dfa) with hot summers and cold winters. It is characterized by the influence of mountain-valley circulation. This is especially evident in the northern part of the city, located directly in the transition zone of the mountain slopes to the plains.

Annual average air temperature is equal to 10 °C (50 °F), the coldest month is January, −4.7 °C (24 °F) (on average), the warmest month (July) 23.8 °C (75 °F) (on average). In average years frost starts on about 14 October and ends on about 18 April, with sustained extreme cold from about 19 December to about 23 February, a period of about 67 days. Weather with temperature above 30 °C (86 °F) is average for about 36 days a year. In the center of Almaty, like any large city, there is a "heat island" – average daily temperature contrast between the northern and southern suburbs of the city is 3.8% and in the coldest and 2.2% and in the hottest five days. Therefore, frost in the city center starts about 7 days later and finishes 3 days earlier than in the northern suburbs. Annual precipitation is about 650 to 700 mm (25.6 to 27.6 in). April and May are the wettest months, during which about a third of the city's annual precipitation is received.
It is not uncommon for snow and a cold snap to hit Almaty as late as the end of May. For example, in the last quarter century, such snowfalls were recorded on 13 May 1985, 1 May 1989, 5 May 1993 and 18 May 1998. The record latest snowfall in Almaty was on 17 June 1987.
Almaty sometimes experiences winter rain, despite heavy preceding snowfall and low temperatures. The most memorable winter rain took place at 16 December 1996 during a military parade to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic.
Almaty Weather Station's GM mostly records south-easterly wind (30%), its resistance increases during the summer (37%) and falls in winter (19%). Wind speeds exceed 15 m/s on about 15 days a year, on average.
Трудно переоценить роль науки и техники в нашей жизни. Они ускоряют развитие цивилизации и нам в нашем сотрудничестве с природой. Ученые исследуют законы Вселенной, обнаруживают тайны природы, и применять свои знания на практике для улучшения жизни людей. Давайте сравним нашу жизнь сейчас с жизнью людей в начале 20-го века. Он изменился до неузнаваемости. У наших предков не имел ни малейшего понятия о тривиальных вещах, созданных научно-технического прогресса, которые мы используем в нашей повседневной жизни. Я имею в виду холодильники, телевизоры, компьютеры, микроволновые печи, радио-телефоны, что нет. Они казались бы чудесами им, что сделали нашу жизнь легкой, комфортной и приятной. С другой стороны, великие изобретения начала 20 века, я имею в виду радио, самолеты, сгорания и реактивные двигатели стали уже привычными вещи и мы не можем представить нашу жизнь без них. Века-это большой период для научно-технического прогресса, так как он довольно быстрый. Миллионы расследований бесконечный ряд выдающихся открытий были сделаны. Наш век имел несколько имен, которые были связаны с определенной эпохой в науке и технике. Сначала он назывался "атомный век" в связи с открытием расщепления атома. Тогда он стал возраст покорения космоса, когда впервые в истории человечества человек преодолел гравитацию и вошел во Вселенную. И сейчас мы живем в информационную эпоху, когда компьютерная сеть охватывает глобуса и подключается не только к странам и космических станций, но много людей во всем мире. Все эти вещи доказывают силу и величайшую прогрессивную роль науки в нашей жизни. Но каждая медаль имеет свою обратную. И стремительный научный прогресс вызвал ряд проблем, которые вызывают нашу серьезную обеспокоенность. Эти экологические проблемы, безопасность атомных электростанций, ядерная угроза войны, и ответственность ученого. Но все равно мы благодарны выдающихся людей и настоящего, которые имеют мужество и терпение, чтобы раскрыть тайны Вселенной.
