Rain and snow are forecast on March 10, with snow expected in foothill and mountainous areas. On March 11, intermittent snowfall is expected, with heavy precipitation in some areas. In several districts, westerly winds may reach 15–20 meters per second, while winds over Issyk-Kul Lake could reach 19–24 meters per second.
Road conditions are expected to deteriorate, with packed snow and icy surfaces, while mountain areas may experience snowdrifts.
