In recent years, Ukrainians have become accustomed to celebrating the New Year without traditional snowy landscapes, which was a consequence of climate change. As forecasters report, this year's New Year's Eve 2025 also does not promise the return of the winter fairy tale for most regions of Ukraine.
December 31 this year will not be an exception to the synoptic rules of recent years and will support the general trend for a wet and warm New Year.
In the east of Ukraine, warm weather is expected on New Year's Eve, at night - not lower than minus -2˚С. New Year's Eve will be wet in the center - forecasters predict wet snow.
The weather will bring a more festive mood to the residents of the western regions, where frosts are expected closer to the New Year holidays, and winter will throw new portions of snow.
In the south of Ukraine, the New Year's weather does not promise any surprises - forecasters predict relatively warm days without frost.
New Year's Eve will be warm and rainy in Kyiv.
As a reminder, a short-term cold weather begins in Ukraine on December 13, which will be accompanied by frosts of up to -14° and strong winds.
