After an abnormally warm October, the weather in Ukraine will begin to noticeably change to colder starting on 4 November, and in some regions rain may turn into wet snow. In the coming days, wintry weather will spread to other parts of the country. Meteorologists give the highest chances of seeing snow on 6-7 November, when a cold atmospheric front will cross Ukraine. The cooling will be felt first by residents of the western and northern regions, and later — the rest of the country.
This was reported to Telegraf by candidate of geographical sciences and meteorologist Ihor Kibalchych. According to him, the cooling will begin on 4 November, coming from the west and north of the country, and will then cover the rest of the regions.
The first days of the month will still remain warm
The first three days of November will not bring a sharp deterioration in the weather. Cloudiness will prevail in Ukraine, but significant precipitation is not forecast for most regions. Light rain is possible in the far north, in Odesa region, and in the Prykarpattia. At night temperatures will stay at +2...+8 °C, while during the day the air will warm to +7...+13 °C. The highest temperatures on 3 November are expected in southeastern Ukraine and in Crimea — there the air will warm to +16...+18 °C.
When the first nighttime frosts will hit
From 4 November, Ukraine will begin to feel noticeably colder. Cold air will first reach the western and northern regions and over the following days will spread to the rest of Ukraine. Daytime temperatures are expected to be +3...+9 °C, while at night the mercury will drop to -3...+3 °C. So mornings will become significantly colder, and the first frosts are possible in some regions.
It will be even cooler at the end of the first ten-day period of the month. From 7 to 10 November, nighttime temperatures will mostly be 0...-5 °C, while daytime readings will change little.
Where the first snow is expected
The highest chance of seeing the first snow will be on 6-7 November. At that time a cold atmospheric front will cross Ukraine, bringing short-term precipitation. In the northern and north-eastern regions, as well as in the Carpathians, rain will locally change to wet snow. In some places it will even have time to briefly cover the ground with a layer of 0,5-4 cm. In the south of the country, on the other hand, rain and drizzle will prevail. The deterioration of the weather will be accompanied by strong winds. In places, gusts of north and northwest wind will reach 15-20 m/s.
Will the cold persist for long
Already on 8-10 November the precipitation will gradually cease. An anticyclone will establish over Ukraine, so significant precipitation in the form of rain or snow is not expected. Although it will become noticeably colder after a warm October, temperature readings will generally correspond to the norm for this season. In some places they will be 1-3 °C below the climatic norm.
Earlier, Informator reported that winter will arrive already at the beginning of November — this was said by meteorologist of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center Nataliya Ptukha, who noted that the weather will change gradually, without a sharp cold snap, and in some western regions precipitation may turn to snow. We also wrote that precipitation will cover almost the entire country on the weekend of 31 October and 1 November, and the strongest cooling was then felt by mountain resorts, in particular Bukovel, where daytime temperatures did not exceed +3...+5 degrees.
