The Boris Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory in the Kyiv region recorded several records. Specifically, on March 28, the air at the “Chornobyl” station warmed to +18.6°C, breaking the 1982 record. In addition to daytime highs, abnormally warm nights were also observed: on March 29 in Baryshivka, the minimum temperature was +7.8°C, which is the highest reading for this date in the entire history of observations. Meteorologists attribute this situation to a rapid influx of warm air, which may also affect weather conditions in early April.
