Temperatures of up to 31°C and thunderstorms are set to hit Ukraine
On June 10, Ukraine will experience a mix of heat and thunderstorms, with brief showers and thunderstorms expected in most regions during the day, and temperatures rising to as high as 31°C in some areas. At night, there will be almost no precipitation, but fog will cover parts of the country, so the weather will be changeable and, in some places, abrupt.
On Wednesday, June 10, the weather in Ukraine will be changeable and even contrasting in some areas, with a relatively calm night without precipitation, while during the day, thunderclouds will begin to form in many regions, bringing short-lived rains, in some places accompanied by hail and squalls. This was reported by the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, which explained that the country will temporarily be outside the active influence of atmospheric fronts, but daytime warming will still trigger local instability.
During the night and early morning hours, fog is possible in most regions, except for the western regions, which will reduce visibility on roads in some places, so drivers should be careful, even in the absence of precipitation. Winds are expected to be variable in direction and light—3–8 meters per second—which will not provide significant relief from the daytime heat.
Nighttime temperatures will range from +13° to +18°, and will rise to +23…+28°C in most regions during the day, while in Zakarpattia, temperatures may reach as high as +31°C, making this region the hottest in the country. In Kyiv and the surrounding region, Wednesday will be dry, but the heat will also make itself felt: in the capital, temperatures are expected to be +16…+18° at night and +26…+28° during the day, while in the Kyiv region, temperatures will be close to the national average.
Forecasters emphasize that such weather is typical for early summer, when warm air is quickly replaced by local thunderstorms, and therefore advise people to be prepared for both heat and sudden showers in the afternoon.
