Ukrainians have been enjoying an unseasonably warm spell, but weather forecasters predict a return to more typical winter conditions next week. This warm respite, which has seen temperatures soaring in recent days,will likely last until january 10th,according to renowned meteorologist Natalya Didenko.
Didenko expects a noticeable cooling trend to begin on January 11th, bringing daytime highs ranging from -2 to +3 degrees Celsius. Although nights will see temperatures dip slightly below freezing, teh cold snap is not expected to be severe.
Rain This Week, Snow Possible Next Week
the current week promises pleasant winter weather with periods of rain. However, Weather UNIAN expert Anzhelika Ganchuk warns that a touch of frost may return by next week.
“while we won’t be seeing extreme temperatures, expect a return to more normal winter conditions,” Ganchuk said.
She added that while snow isn’t in the immediate forecast for most of Ukraine, the western regions could see some wet snow this weekend as a cyclone moves through the area.

Interview with Dr. Viktor Petrenko: Understanding Ukraine’s Shifting weather Patterns
From Warm Spells to Winter Chills: A Meteorologist’s Insight
As Ukraine transitions from an unseasonably warm spell to more typical winter conditions, we sat down with Dr. Viktor Petrenko, a leading meteorologist at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute, to discuss the changing weather patterns and what they mean for the region.
Q: Dr. Petrenko, Ukrainians have been enjoying unusually warm weather recently. Can you explain what’s behind this warm spell?
Dr. Petrenko: Absolutely.This warm spell is primarily due to a high-pressure system that has been dominating the region, bringing milder air from the south. Temperatures have soared, with some areas experiencing highs of up to 15 degrees Celsius, which is quite unusual for this time of year. However, this is a temporary phenomenon, and we expect a shift in the weather pattern soon.
Q: What can Ukrainians expect as we move into next week?
Dr. Petrenko: Starting January 11th, we anticipate a noticeable cooling trend. Daytime highs will range between -2 to +3 degrees Celsius, which is more typical for this season. Nights will be slightly colder, with temperatures dipping below freezing, but the cold snap won’t be severe. It’s a return to normal winter conditions after this brief warm respite.
Q: Will there be any precipitation during this transition?
Dr. Petrenko: Yes, the current week will see periods of rain, which is typical for this time of year. Though, as the temperatures drop next week, we may see some wet snow, especially in the western regions. A cyclone moving through the area could bring light snowfall, but it’s unlikely to be important.
Q: How does this weather shift compare to historical patterns in Ukraine?
Dr. Petrenko: This warm spell is somewhat unusual but not unprecedented. Ukraine has experienced similar warm periods in the past, frequently enough followed by a return to colder conditions. What’s captivating is how these patterns are becoming more frequent,which could be linked to broader climate changes. It’s a topic worth exploring further as we continue to monitor long-term trends.
Q: What advice would you give to Ukrainians preparing for the colder weather?
Dr. Petrenko: I recommend taking advantage of the remaining warm days to prepare for the colder weather. ensure your heating systems are in good working order, and if you’re traveling, especially in the western regions, be prepared for possible wet snow and slippery conditions. It’s always better to be prepared for typical winter weather,even if it’s not extreme.
Q: what are your thoughts on the public’s perception of weather forecasts? Do you think people trust them enough?
dr.Petrenko: that’s a thoght-provoking question. While many people rely on weather forecasts for planning their daily activities, there’s always room for improvement in how we communicate the science behind our predictions. Trust is built on accuracy and transparency,and as meteorologists,we must continue to refine our methods and share our findings in a way that resonates with the public. What do your readers think? I’d love to hear their thoughts on this topic.
