Contexto cultural
Cold weather is often associated with 'шай ішу' (tea drinking). When it's cold, guests are immediately served hot tea with milk and baursaks. In regions like Akmola or North Kazakhstan, 'суық ауа райы' can mean -40°C. Schools often close, which is called 'сабақ болмайды'. The 'Bes Qonaq' (Five Guests) is a traditional period in late March where cold weather returns unexpectedly. It's a famous folk warning. In Almaty, cold weather often brings 'smog' issues in winter, leading to discussions about 'суық ауа райы' and air quality.
