Snow has fallen in the foothill villages of the Moskovsky district, Chui region. Local residents reported the weather changes, noting a sharp drop in air temperature.
Consequences for agriculture
Residents of Ak-Bashat village, part of the Ak-Suu ayyl aimak, said that the onset of cold weather has forced them to change their usual work schedules. The main challenge for local residents engaged in agriculture and livestock farming has been the need to protect their herds from the frost.
The air temperature dropped sharply and it started snowing. The trees were covered in a white 'shawl,' and the cold set in. We have begun moving the livestock from the mountain pastures into the sheds
