Article:
We’re in for a treat as Ukraine gets ready to embrace warmer temperatures this week, reports the Weather Service. Take a look at what’s in store in our exclusive TSN.UA weather forecast.
From January 8, temperatures will start to rise, reaching between +4°C to +9°C nationwide. The western regions may see temperatures between +9°C to +11°C, while the central areas will hover between +7°C to +12°C. The southern regions are in for a treat with temperatures between +9°C to +14°C!
But be prepared for breezy conditions today, with strong winds expected in some areas. Tonight, the west and western mountainous regions may experience rain or snow. Wednesday should be mostly dry, with rain expected only in the mountainous regions.
As for January 8 evening, rain, possibly mixed with snow, is expected in western and northern Ukraine. Kiev residents can also look forward to warmer temperatures, with nighttime lows ranging from +2°C to +4°C and daytime highs reaching +5°C to +7°C. Most of the day should be dry, with rain expected in the evening.
The warm weather looks set to continue from January 9 to 10, according to synoptic forecast specialist Nataliya Didenco. In fact, this January is expected to be 1.5°C to 2°C warmer than usual – quite a noticeable difference for this time of year.
While low temperatures and heavy snowfall are typical for this month, Ukraine should not expect any major weather catastrophes this year. The monthly snowfall is predicted to be around 32-79 mm, which is normal. However, the snow depth will depend on the region – it’s likely to be 3-8 cm on average, but it could be more in the north and mountains, and less or even none in the south.
However, different forecasting sites offer contrasting predictions for January in Ukraine. While one says it will be moderately cold with snowfall, another predicts it will be rather warm with sparse snow. Check out the regional forecasts for more detail.
