Southern cyclones, including Mediterranean, are of importance among the synoptic processes which define the weather in Kazakstan.
As it is shown by the research, Mediterranean cyclones exit on to the territory of Kazakstan late in the autumn and early in the spring more often. Thereby they influence on the duration and intensity of the cold period of the year. Meteorological phenomena anomalies are characteristic of these very periods for the weather of Kazakstan. Therefore the matters of Mediterranean cyclones monitoring are of importance for weather forecasters of Kazakstan.
Mediterranean cyclones routes, speeds of their movement, frequency of their entrance on to the territory of Kazakstan have been studied. Weather condition analysis during the time of Mediterranean cyclones passing over the territory of Kazakstan with revealings of spontaneous meteorological phenomena have been done.
