The weather and connection context below comes from separate global sources and still applies.
On weather, Almaty is a generally calm-weather airport, with a rougher stretch to watch. August is the calmest stretch for flying, scoring 98 out of 100 for favorable conditions, while January is the most disruptive at 39, driven mainly by low visibility & fog and freezing conditions. That's a dramatic seasonal swing — the difference between flying here in its best and worst months is large enough to move your delay odds meaningfully, so timing matters more here than at most airports.
