The Hot Summer in Almaty

The last few weeks have been unbelievably hot for those living in Almaty. Of all the years that I have been here I can not remember that we had such long hot spells with some days even reaching 38 degrees Celsius. This is well above the statistics of the average temperature for August (29.4. degrees Celsius)  

The weather makes it the perfect time to socialise  and enjoy one of the many parks in the city with its many fountains.Did you know... according to the city's Department of Natural Resources the city has 125 fountains with first fountain created in 1948. 


OR  if you can afford it go to one of the many water parks in and around the city like Hawaii Aqua Park; Gorky Water Park; Water park at Aporte; Dolphin Water Park and 8 Wonders and many more...
