Overview
- The Hydrometeorological Center expects the first week of the calendar winter to be mostly precipitation-free with cloudy, damp conditions and fog under high pressure.
- Night temperatures are forecast at 0–5°C, with daytime highs of +3 to +8°C and +7 to +12°C in the south, while the Carpathians may see brief subzero nights.
- Snow on St. Nicholas Day on 6 December is considered unlikely, with no significant changes in weather expected through the week.
- The December–February average is projected at 1.5–2°C above the norm, though 3–7 day cold spells could drop minima to −5 to −18°C, colder at times in the north and the Carpathians.
- Over the past three decades, Ukrainian winters have warmed by roughly 2.0–2.5°C with fewer subzero days and nearly halved negative temperature sums.
