Expected warming is approaching Ukrainian territories, with temperatures reaching up to +24°C, though natural weather whims cannot be ruled out
According to meteorologists' forecasts, on May 21, stable weather will prevail across almost the entire country, but with short-term showers and thunderstorms affecting the eastern regions, Dnipropetrovsk region, and partially Zaporizhzhia. The rest of Ukraine will mostly experience dry conditions, creating an impression of clear and sunny weather. These data are based on information from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center and are confirmed by sources, including the Interfax-Ukraine agency. Experts report that a westward wind blowing at 5-10 meters per second will bring a refreshing atmosphere and generate some noise during movement, but it will not significantly disrupt the weather. Nighttime temperatures are expected to range between 6 and 11 degrees Celsius below zero, while daytime temperatures will rise to between 19 and 24 degrees, giving a feeling of morning coolness and warm afternoons typical of late spring days. Special attention should be given to the capital — Kyiv. On May 21, clear weather without precipitation is forecasted, with morning temperatures fluctuating between 9 and 11 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures rising to 22-24°C. According to the Boris Sreznevsky Main Geophysical Observatory, historical observations show that the hottest date in this period was in 2007, with temperatures reaching 32°C, while the coldest May 21 on record was in 1917, when temperatures dropped to zero. The following day, May 22, weather conditions are expected to remain largely unchanged—precipitation is unlikely in most regions, but short-term showers with thunderstorms may occur in western areas, Zhytomyr, and Vinnytsia regions. Southwestern or southern winds at 7-12 meters per second are forecasted for this day, bringing a change in atmospheric conditions and a noticeable gust of cool air towards the end of May. Night temperatures will fluctuate between 8 and 13 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures will be between 19 and 24°C. In Kyiv, meteorologists predict dry weather with similar temperature patterns: 11-13°C at night and around 22-24°C during the day. Overall, the coming days will offer Ukrainians warm and quite comfortable weather, accompanied by variable rainfall in certain regions and dynamic temperature fluctuations. This is a great opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy nature and spend time outdoors while staying alert to possible short-term showers, so as not to be caught by surprise during walks or weekend plans.
