Forecasters predict rain in most regions of Ukraine on 31 October

On the last day of October, the 31st, Ukrainians will have to do without sunny weather. According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Centre, most regions of the country will be covered by clouds, with rain expected in some areas. Meanwhile, forecasters are not yet predicting a sharp drop in temperature.

Cyclone to determine weather conditions

The main factor influencing the weather in Ukraine on Saturday will be a cyclone moving north from the Black Sea. It is due to its influence that the highest amount of precipitation is expected in the southern and central parts of the state.

Moderate rain is forecast by meteorologists in most southern and central oblasts, as well as in Chernihiv and Sumy regions. In the rest of the country, precipitation will be less intense — light rain is possible in places.

The wind will be predominantly from the north-west, blowing at a speed of 5–10 m/s. The exception will be the eastern oblasts, where the wind will be from the south-east.

Temperatures during the night hours will range from +2 to +8°C. Daytime warming of the air is forecast at levels from +7 to +12°C.

Weather features in the capital and Kyiv region

In Kyiv and the region, cloudy weather will also prevail on 31 October. Light rain is possible in places. The wind will be from the north-west at a speed of 5–10 m/s.

In Kyiv region, the night air temperature will fluctuate between +3 and +8°C, while during the day the thermometer columns will rise to +7…+12°C. In the capital itself, +6…+8°C is expected at night, and the air will warm up to approximately +10°C during the day.

What is expected at the beginning of November

The beginning of the new month will also pass in a cool and locally rainy atmosphere. According to preliminary data from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Centre, light and moderate precipitation is possible on Sunday, 1 November, in the east, north-east of Ukraine, and in Zakarpattia. In the Carpathians, rain will occasionally turn into wet snow. No significant precipitation is expected in the rest of the country.

On Monday, 2 November, the weather will become drier — precipitation is largely not forecast in Ukraine.

Night temperatures from 1 to 2 November will range from +1 to +8°C, reaching up to +11°C in places in the east and south-east. During the day, the air will warm up to +6…+14°C.

Thus, the last day of October will pass under the sign of cloudiness and rain. Those planning walks or trips over the weekend should take an umbrella and dress warmer.
