Summer, which will last until October, will now be the norm for Ukraine

This year, the meteorological summer in Ukraine lasted from mid-May to the first decade of October, and in the future such long and hot seasons may become the new norm for the country. Vira Balabukh, head of the Department of Applied Meteorology and Climatology of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, told about this in an interview with Channel 24.

"The long and hot summer we've seen this year will obviously become our new climate norm pretty soon," she said. According to the expert, the duration of the hot season in Ukraine will increase, in particular, summer will start earlier and last longer.

The main factors of this are the greenhouse effect, which increases the temperature of the air on the planet, as well as an increase in solar activity. "According to the World Meteorological Organization, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a maximum in 800,000 years," Balabukh said.

This year's abnormally warm weather in Ukraine in autumn is explained by a powerful anticyclone and warm air that came from the subtropics.

The summer of 2024 went down in history as a particularly hot one. In the south of Kherson region, Mykolaiv region and in some regions of Crimea, the July temperature reached a record +28.0...+28.8 °C. "Similar indicators of the average monthly temperature are the norm in such cities as Jakarta, Singapore, Mumbai, Manila, and other settlements located in the equatorial and subequatorial belt!" - commented forecaster Ihor Kybalchich.

According to him, July 2024 will go down in history as one of the hottest and driest in Ukraine, which confirms the climate change trend that our country is already facing.
