Ukrainian autumn ends with changeable weather: frost, rain and sleet, but since the weekend the forecasters promise stability and clarity. Nataliya Ptukha, forecaster of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, spoke about the details of the forecast for the last week of November and the beginning of December.
The beginning of the week was marked by frost: the temperature at night dropped to -8°C in most regions. But the crest of an anticyclone from the northeast ensured clear weather without precipitation.
However, light sleet with rain was observed today in Luhansk region, Donetsk region and Crimea. Tomorrow rains and sleet will affect the west, north and Kharkiv region.
From the middle of the week, Ukraine will be affected by the atmospheric fronts of the cyclone passing through Poland and Belarus. On Thursday, rain is forecast in the west of the country, and wet snow in the Carpathians. By Friday, the atmospheric front will gradually weaken, but it will still affect Kyiv Oblast, Zhytomyr Oblast, Vinnytsia Oblast, Cherkasy Oblast and Chernihiv Oblast.
"On Friday, small mixed-phase precipitation is possible in these regions: sleet with rain," Nataliya Ptukha noted.
Due to the increase in cloudiness, night frosts will gradually disappear. If at the beginning of the week it was -2°...-8°C at night, then from Thursday the temperature will range from +2° to -4°C. During the day it is expected to reach 0°...+6°C.
The weekend will bring a new wave of high pressure. An anticyclone will provide calm weather without precipitation, possibly with sunny spells.
"This anticyclone will bring stability and create a winter mood, but without severe frosts," the forecaster concluded.
