According to the explanation of forecasters, such extreme heat is due to the influence of the summer thermal depression and anticyclone in Central Asia. As a result, a flow of very warm and dry air masses from Iran, Afghanistan and the southwestern regions of Central Asia to Kyrgyzstan is expected.
