Today, March 20, the weather in Ukraine will change due to an anticyclone. This was reported by weather forecaster Natalia Didenko, Komersant ukrainskyi reports
“The anticyclone, a large-scale area of high atmospheric pressure, will cover the entire territory of Ukraine,” she said.
Due to the anticyclone, dry weather without precipitation and sunshine is expected. At the same time, temperatures are expected to rise:
“Warming is on the way! on March 20, the Day of the Vernal Equinox, the temperature in Ukraine will rise to 9…13 degrees during the day,” predicted Didenko.
According to her, the fresher air will remain in the eastern regions and in Transcarpathia, where thermometers will show 7… 9 degrees.
“The wind will finally calm down and its northwestern and western gusts will be minimal on Thursday,” the forecaster added, adding that slight “minuses” are expected in the morning and evening.
Real spring will begin in Ukraine
Vitaliy Postrygan, a weather forecaster, also says that Ukraine is getting warmer. The forecaster said that this year’s vernal equinox falls on March 20, which marks the beginning of astronomical spring. According to him, this is an important day when the length of day and night are equal – 12 hours each. And after it, we can expect a sharp warming.
Therefore, on the first day of the vernal equinox, the daytime temperature will not exceed 2º…7º, and no significant precipitation is expected.
However, the situation will change after March 20. According to weather forecasters, warm air from western Europe will spread to the northern periphery of the anticyclone that affects the weather in Ukraine. This will lead to a gradual increase in temperature, with the average daily temperature rising by 2º every day.
Starting March 20, the weather will change for the better. According to Vitaliy Postrygan, although the mornings will still be cool, the temperature will rise every day, and we will see comfortable “pluses” in the afternoon.
“We predict sunny, dry and comfortable weather that will be on the side of Ukrainians and help them in all their affairs,” the forecaster said.
According to the forecast, this weekend Ukraine will enjoy the warmth that the new season will bring. Nature will start to wake up and the air temperature will rise significantly, making the days sunny and comfortable for outdoor walks.
