Weather in Ukraine this weekend: frost and a long-awaited warm spell
No significant precipitation is expected across Ukraine during the first weekend of May. Frosts are possible at night, while daytime temperatures will range between 10–15°C and may rise to 23°C in some areas.
This was reported by the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center on Facebook.
“Over the next three days, cold air will finally begin to retreat eastward, and a warm air mass will spread from Western Europe toward us. However, this process will only begin tomorrow, so nighttime frosts will still be observed almost everywhere: in most regions—in the air, and in the south of the country—mostly on the ground surface; on Sunday, they will become significantly less frequent, and by the beginning of the week, they are already unlikely,” the statement reads.
It is noted that daytime temperatures will also rise, most noticeably on Monday, with the warmest conditions in the west and north of the country. Dry weather will prevail in the high-pressure area, and only in the south and southeast will there be light rain in some places.
According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, on the night of May 2, there will be frosts of 0–3°; in the southern part, temperatures will range from 1–6° above freezing, with frosts of 0–3° on the ground; daytime temperatures will be 10–15° above freezing.
On May 3, nighttime temperatures will range from 1 to 8°C; across Ukraine, except for the northern regions, ground frosts of 0–3°C are expected; daytime temperatures will range from 13 to 18°C, reaching up to 23°C in western regions.
According to forecasters, variable cloudiness is expected on Saturday. No precipitation, with only light rain in the south during the day.
Winds will be predominantly northeasterly, 5–10 m/s.
At night, ground frost of 0-3°; in the southern part, temperatures of 1-6° above freezing, with ground frost of 0-3°; daytime temperatures of 10-15° above freezing, up to 18° in the far west of the country.
No precipitation is expected in Kyiv and the surrounding region tomorrow. Winds will be from the northwest, 5-10 m/s.
In the capital, nighttime temperatures will be 1-3°F, with ground frosts of 0-2°F; daytime temperatures will be 12-14°F; in the Kyiv region, nighttime frosts will be 0-3°F, with daytime temperatures of 10-15°F.
As a reminder, forecasters have predicted a warming trend in Ukraine over the weekend.
