January 2025 promises to be warm and mild, which is unusual for winter in Ukraine. People's forecaster from Volyn, Volodymyr Derkach, in a conversation with "Telegraph" shared his forecast, according to which there is no need to hope for significant frosts.
The first decade of the month will be diverse: fluctuations from positive temperatures to slight frosts are expected.
"The middle of this period will be conditionally cold - constant 'minus' at night, but positive temperatures will prevail during the day. Precipitation is possible closer to the middle of the decade," said Derkach.
With the beginning of the second decade, the temperature will remain at the level of slight frosts at night and positive marks during the day. However, in the middle of the month, precipitation is expected to increase with a slight cooling.
"The temperature drop will not be significant and will last until the end of the second decade, affecting the first days of the third," the forecaster predicts.
The third decade of January will also not bring serious cooling. After a few cold days in the first half of the decade, temperatures will rise back above freezing in the afternoon. Precipitation in the form of rain or sleet is possible in the middle of this period.
"In general, at the end of January, the temperature is not expected to decrease. Thermometers will not drop below -15°C in almost the entire territory of Ukraine," concluded Derkach.
Despite warm forecasts for January, a short-term cooling is expected in Ukraine in the coming days. On Sunday night, the temperature will drop to -9°C, and sleet or rain is forecast in some regions.
Forecaster Nataliya Didenko notes that the temperature will start to rise from January 6, but from the 11th it is worth preparing for a new cooling.
"It is better to plan energy-intensive work for the period from January 6 to 10," she advises.
January 2025 will be a month when nature reminds us that winters are getting milder. Without significant frosts and with mostly positive temperatures, it promises to be unusually warm, which can cause new challenges for both nature and humanity.
