Frosts and Unstable Weather: Forecasters Release April Forecast
After a cold winter, Ukrainians are looking forward to the warmth of spring, but April will bring not only sunshine but also fluctuating weather.

The second month of spring will begin with a brief cold snap, after which warm and mostly sunny weather will gradually set in.
