Ukraine prepares for significant weather changes: rain and thunderstorms expected
The coming days in our country will be marked by notable changes in weather conditions, as warns the Ukrhydrometcenter. According to their forecast, almost the entire territory of Ukraine will experience heavy precipitation in the form of short-term rains accompanied by thunderstorms. This will become a characteristic feature of the weather ahead of May, and the publication is already urging residents to exercise extreme caution and to consider these changes when planning their daily routines. According to an official source, the situation will change significantly over the next three days. As representatives of Ukrhydrometcenter state: “No precipitation is expected tonight. However, on April 24th, during the day, conditions will form for short-term rains and thunderstorms over most of the western, northern, and southeastern regions of the country.” In other words, the period will have a dynamic and unpredictable weather pattern, which could significantly affect citizens’ daily plans. Regarding temperature conditions, relatively warm nights are forecasted for April 24-25 — ranging from 8 to 13 degrees Celsius, with daytime temperatures rising to 21-26 degrees. It is worth noting that in the Carpathians and near the coasts of seas, the air warms slightly less — around 15-20 degrees. Additionally, it is expected that in the southern and western regions of Ukraine, daytime temperatures will still be comfortable for many — steadily around 21-26 degrees — but by April 26, models predict a significant drop in night temperatures — down to 5-10 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures falling to 11-16 degrees. Kyiv will also not be spared from weather surprises. During April 24-25, nights will be dry, with temperatures fluctuating between +11 and +13 degrees Celsius. Short-term rains may occur during the day, with temperatures rising up to +25 degrees. It is expected that the western and northwestern winds will blow at speeds of 3 to 10 meters per second, adding a touch of freshness and unpredictability to the weather. Even more substantial changes are expected on April 26. On this day, the capital will experience another round of short-term rain, and the weather will slightly deteriorate. Night temperatures are forecasted to be +7 to +9 degrees, with daytime temperatures reaching only about +13. Winds will strengthen — reaching speeds of 7 to 12 meters per second — which could cause fluctuations in well-being and create additional inconveniences. Experts call on Ukrainians not to remain indifferent to the weather changes. It’s important to dress appropriately, consider possible transportation delays due to rain, and use available means to protect property. At the same time, the weather shift also highlights the importance of preparing for unforeseen situations — storms, thunderstorms, and sudden temperature drops are natural phenomena, and it is crucial to be ready for their consequences. Therefore, Ukrainians should already brace themselves for the fact that the next few days will bring not only warmth but also frequent rain and thunderstorms, affecting the overall mood and daily rhythm across nearly the entire country. Pay attention to the most important aspects — safety and comfort — and remain vigilant about weather conditions every day.
