Precipitation is expected in the central regions, while the south and east will remain rainless.
Kyiv residents will also experience a sharp drop in temperature starting on Saturday, when the air will cool to +5…+7 degrees. On Sunday, the thermometer in the capital will drop even lower – to +2…+5 degrees. Forecasters predict dry weather on Sunday, but light rain is possible today. In the capital, it is recommended to dress warmly due to a significant drop in temperature, which will be felt especially in the morning and evening hours.
According to the Ukrhydrometeorological Center, an increased level of danger due to bad weather has been declared in the western regions. Heavy rains are forecast in Volyn, Lviv, Zakarpattia, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi and Chernivtsi regions, and wet snow is possible in some places.
