Alright, gather ’round, ladies and gentlemen, because we’re diving into a veritable cornucopia of thrilling Bishkek news! And I know what you’re thinking—“Sunny weather and scheduled outages? Oh, my stars! Whatever will they think of next?” Well, hold onto your hats because we’re about to get whimsical!
Sunny Days in Bishkek
First up, we have a delightful little morsel of meteorological magic: on 11 November, Bishkek will be basking in the glory of sunshine with a toasty air temperature of 8 degrees Celsius. Brilliant! That’s just warm enough to defrost those frozen thoughts we’ve all been having about winter. Ideal conditions for… well, wrapping yourself in a blanket and contemplating your life choices. Remember, love, sunshine is just nature’s way of reminding you to forget the trauma of Mondays!
A Not-So-Delightful Power Outage
But wait, there’s more! Just as the universe serves you up a sunny day, it counterbalances it with the charming news of electricity, gas, and water outages scheduled at various pockets across Bishkek. A bit of plumbing trivia, if you will!
- From 9:30 to 18:30, the streets of Grazhdanskaya and Torekul Aitmatov are going dark—perfect if you’re looking to get some quality ‘think time’ while dodging sundry household chores!
- And if you fancied a spot of tea on Kievskaya street, you’re in luck between 15:00 and 17:00—except… not if the tea kettle needs gas!
Let’s not forget the heroic lengths you might have to go to for a shower! Just think of it as an enforced spa day—minus the actual spa. Nothing screams relaxation quite like buckets of cold water, am I right?
Who’s Who in The Bishkek Zoo
Next up, we have the illustrious Baktiyar Imanaliev—not just a name straight out of an alphabet soup, but the Deputy of the Bishkek City Council, born on the finest day that is November 11, 1986. One can only assume he’s both energetic and cheerful (given his birth date), working diligently to save the world one council meeting at a time. Who knew turning off everyone’s hot water was in his job description?
A Toast to Energy Saving
Moving right along to topics that will truly warm your heart: International Energy Saving Day. This grand celebration aims to pull the wool off our eyes regarding energy consumption—like trying to convince a teenager to clean their room. It was established at an international gathering because apparently, all it takes is the right group of people and a continental buffet to come together for a common cause. Who knew saving energy could sound so noble?
Just remember, folks: The less energy we waste, the better the planet ends up looking, like your uncle Jerry after he finally decided to go for that ‘natural look’ instead of the ‘gift-wrapped in crispy bacon’ vibe.
Shopping and Savings Galore
And for your shopping shenanigans, we have the World Shopping Day, a euphoric orgy of discounts that began in 2009 courtesy of Alibaba Group. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a holiday that makes your wallet bulge faster than your waistline after visiting an all-you-can-eat buffet. Get those discounts while they’re hot and try to resist the urge to fill your cart with enough shoes to launch a fashion empire.
So, What Now?
Before we sign off, remember to check out the latest happenings in Bishkek. Grab your friends, roll your eyes at the weather, and channel your inner socialite. If you stumble across an event you think deserves the spotlight, don’t be shy—hit that WhatsApp number or slide into the DMs. After all, the party starts when you enter the room… or when you leave, depending on your dance moves.
So keep it sunny, keep it electric (if the utilities allow), and let’s not forget to shop ‘til we drop! Because who needs water, gas, or power when there are sales to be made? Until next time, you lovely specimens of curiosity!
On 11 November, the skies over Bishkek are expected to radiate with sunshine, making it a delightful day for outdoor activities. The air temperature will be a moderate +8 degrees Celsius, providing a pleasant atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.

Memorable dates
International Energy Saving Day
The initiative to create International Energy Saving Day was launched in April 2008 at an international gathering in Kazakhstan, aimed at energizing efforts for sustainable practices in energy use. This significant day received an international stamp of approval, as approximately 20 countries joined efforts to participate in the project.
Its primary objective centers on raising awareness among both government officials and the public regarding the critical importance of resource conservation and the advancement of renewable energy initiatives.
World Shopping Day
The notion of World Shopping Day traces back to 2009 when China’s Alibaba Group introduced an impressive marketing campaign featuring substantial discounts that captured the attention of shoppers worldwide. This event has since evolved into a global phenomenon, providing consumers with an opportunity to enjoy remarkable discounts from major online retailers.
Essentially, Shopping Day mirrors the spirit of “Black Friday”, offering consumers enticing deals and significant savings on a diverse range of products, while emerging as a notable highlight of the international shopping calendar.
