As the new workweek begins, Ukrainians are being warned about dangerous changes in weather conditions across the country.
According to leading Ukrainian meteorologists, starting from Sunday, October 19th, significant cooling and atmospheric precipitation in the form of rain, which could turn into wet snow overnight, are expected across Ukraine.
Experts caution that the air temperature will drop to +4…+8 degrees Celsius, with slightly higher temperatures forecasted for the southern and eastern regions.
Given the unstable weather, drivers are advised to replace their summer tires with winter ones today to avoid hazardous road conditions.
