This week in Ukraine, you should not count on snow cover. According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, the weather will improve in the middle of the week - precipitation will almost stop, and the wind will weaken.
"Now we have processes from the northwest. Therefore, we have an atmospheric front and a rather powerful gradient coming from there... The pressure drop is, let's say, big. Because on the Scandinavian side, we have a field of reduced pressure. And it is in his system an atmospheric front that passes through us. At the same time, we have a field of increased pressure over Europe. And accordingly, there is this gradient," she said.
Speaking about the strengthening of the wind, the forecaster noted that on December 17, "it will already weaken a little, and we expect that it will remain only in the western regions, but there it is already the first level, 15-20 meters per second," said Ptuha.
According to forecasters, temperature indicators will rise.
"In the afternoon +3°...+8°. The southern part is generally +7°...+12°. That is, the amplitude of the temperature, compared to the weekend, is also noticeable," said the forecaster.
On December 18-19, the high pressure field from the west will intensify. Accordingly, there will be no significant precipitation in most regions. Only in the east and northeast of the country there may be light rain and sleet.
