The beginning of autumn 2024 in Ukraine has already been marked by unusually hot weather, with forecasts indicating that this trend will persist for the next several days.
Leading meteorologists, including Ihor Kibalchich, warn that temperatures may soar up to +37°C in southern and western regions, creating new challenges for residents and infrastructure alike.
Since the end of August, Ukraine has experienced a series of scorching days, and climate experts predict that the heatwave will continue into early September.
By the end of the week, the temperature is expected to surpass the +37°C mark in certain areas, which is abnormal for this time of year.
On Monday, September 1, night-time showers and thunderstorms are forecasted over Odessa region, accompanied by gusty winds.
Overall, the weather will remain dry and notably warmer than average, with daytime temperatures reaching up to +31°C and even higher in the east, up to +37°C.
Such high temperatures pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with cardiovascular issues.
Residents are advised to take precautions against overheating, stay hydrated, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
These record-breaking temperatures could be surpassed in the coming days, while atmospheric pressure will continue to rise.
However, within the first week of September, a gradual shift toward more temperate weather with intermittent rain and lower temperatures is expected.
Nevertheless, current conditions are quite tense due to the high heat and the potential for extreme weather events.
Citizens are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and stay prepared for various weather scenarios to prevent adverse consequences.
Overall, this period is characterized by an elevated thermal background and an increased risk of extreme weather phenomena, reflecting ongoing global climate change impacts affecting everyday life worldwide.
