According to forecasts of forecasters, significant changes in weather conditions are expected in Ukraine in the coming days, including snowfall and ice. The atmospheric front formed over the Balkans has already brought snowfall to Transcarpathia and the Carpathians, gradually spreading them to other regions of the country. A drop in temperature and strong winds can significantly worsen the situation on the roads, which will create risks for traffic.
Olena Palahniuk, forecaster of the Ukrhydrometeorological center, told about this.
According to forecaster Olena Palahniuk, the country is preparing for the transition to the winter season, which is reflected in characteristic weather changes.
The atmospheric front of the cyclone formed over the Balkans has already caused snowfall in Transcarpathia and the Carpathians. In the coming days, it will continue to spread over the territory of Ukraine, gradually bringing the country closer to the winter season.
"On Sunday, the front will shift to the east, which will lead to an increase in atmospheric pressure. This will contribute to a decrease in wind speed, as well as to the cessation of precipitation in almost the entire territory of Ukraine, with the exception of the eastern and southeastern regions. The sky will become less cloudy," said Olena Palahniuk.
The temperature will remain stable: -2-7 °C is expected at night, near zero during the day. In the western regions, it will be slightly warmer compared to Saturday, and in the southern regions, on the contrary, it will be cooler.
The new week will start with dry weather, except for a little snow in the far east of Ukraine.
Forecast for November 24-25
On Sunday, November 24, the atmospheric front will shift to the east, and most areas will remain without precipitation. At the same time, wet snow with sticking and ice is forecast in the eastern and southeastern regions. The temperature at night will be -2-7 °C, during the day it will be close to zero. In the Carpathians, light snow is forecast with a night temperature of -6-11 °C and a daytime temperature of -1-6 °C.
On Monday, November 25, cloudy weather will prevail throughout the territory of Ukraine with clearings, without significant precipitation. Light snow is possible only in the extreme east. The temperature will drop to -2-7 °C at night, and will remain close to zero during the day.
Forecasters warn of icy roads, especially in the northern and western regions, so drivers should be careful. The wind will be mainly north and north-westerly, in the western regions southerly, at a speed of 5-10 m/s.
Special attention should be paid to the eastern and southern regions, where wet snow and ice are expected to stick in places. Difficult conditions are possible in the Carpathians due to a drop in temperature and light snow.
Ukraine is gradually adapting to the winter climate, and the new season promises to be a stable beginning of the cold season.
