This week, unusually warm weather is expected in Ukraine, but precipitation is possible in some places. This is reported by forecaster Ihor Kibalchych, writes “Meteoprog”. According to his forecast, cyclonic activity is developing over the center and west of Europe, which causes the predominance of air flows of the southern and southeastern directions.
“Due to such atmospheric circulation, warm air from Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula will begin to flow into Ukraine,” Kibalchich explained. This is expected to bring abnormally high temperatures for the end of September.
Forecast for the coming days:
- September 23: Partly cloudy throughout the country, without significant precipitation. The daytime temperature will be +23…+29 °C, in the Carpathians and in the far north it will be cooler — from +18 to +23 °C.
- September 24: Due to the influence of the anticyclone, warm and dry weather will remain on Tuesday. The wind will be moderate — 5-10 m/s. At night, the temperature will fluctuate within +7…+12 °C, in the south of the country — up to +17 °C. During the day, the air will warm up to +24…+29 °C, in the Carpathians it will remain cooler — from +18 to +23 °C.
- September 25: On Wednesday, rain is possible in western Ukraine, as well as in places in the Azov region. Heavy precipitation is likely in the Carpathians and Transcarpathia at night. The south-easterly wind will strengthen to 7-12 m/s. The temperature will drop: at night — +10…+15 °C, in the northeast — +5…+10 °C, and during the day — to +21…+26 °C, in western regions in places — to +16…+21 °C.
How will a warm September affect winter?
Natalia Ptukha from the Ukrhydrometeorological Center warns that a warm September is no guarantee of a mild winter. According to her, although climate change is leading to record temperatures, this does not mean that winter will be frost-free. Cold days will probably occur less often, but they will still occur.
The expected abnormally warm days are another reminder of climate change, which is increasingly affecting the usual weather conditions in Ukraine.
