The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center notes that it is not yet possible to determine the exact duration of the heatwave, but next week is expected to be warmer than this week.
This was reported by meteorologist Ihor Kibalchych.
As a reminder, the June heatwave in Europe led to significant losses in agriculture. The cost of the destroyed grain crops is estimated at more than 2 billion euros, with farmers in France and Hungary suffering the most.
A new heat wave with temperatures reaching +35° will hit Ukraine in early August.
The heatwave in Belgium caused the highest rate of excess mortality in Europe.
