A heat wave is affecting the local area, prompting the activation of an Early Action Protocol. The cause of the abnormal heat is a summer thermal depression, a synoptic process that forms in Central Asia. This process involves the formation of high-pressure ridges, also known as anticyclones, which block the movement of air masses and impede cloud formation.

Further details on the implementation of project activities and the current meteorological situation are available from the source, including a report titled EAP2023KG02.
