Aktau sits near a climate boundary
This city sits right on the line between the current type and the next type along. Different climate maps file it on different sides of that line; the lived weather doesn't change at the line — it's a naming boundary, not a wall.
Has Aktau's climate type changed?
Stable — Aktau's climate has held the same type between the 1971–2000 and 1991–2020 normals. The label is steady; the climate beneath it is still warming.
Where these numbers come from
The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Aktau's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Aktau's main climate page, so the two always agree.
Long-range climate maps measure things slightly differently and can place a city in a neighbouring category. Where they differ, this page uses the measured station record as the climate today.
Methodology & sources
Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 27 years of daily observations at Aktau, a weather station, about 23 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
