A cyclone from Scandinavia brings snowstorms and ice to Ukraine: where the weather will be the most difficult
The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center predicts blizzards, snow and its accumulation, frosts and increased wind.
Ukrainians will experience very dynamic weather this week. Today an atmospheric front with sleet and rain will approach us, and subsequently a cyclone from Scandinavia will cause increased wind and frost. Natalya Ptukha, a forecaster at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, spoke about this in a commentary to NV.
According to her, on November 22, precipitation in Ukraine will mainly be in the form of snow, and in the south – in the form of rain.
“In the western, central and Zaporozhye regions – this is worth paying attention to – there may be difficult weather conditions, wet snow and ice in places. And in general, in Ukraine, except in the south, there is icy conditions on the roads in some places,” the forecaster noted.
On November 23, according to her data, during the day in the northern and northwestern regions precipitation will mainly be in the form of snow and sleet. There may also be snowstorms due to the arrival of an atmospheric front.
“Ukraine will fall under the influence of a cyclone, which will come to us from Scandinavia. Accordingly, on November 23-24 there will be increased wind, but on the 23rd the temperature is the lowest. Therefore, precipitation that will come along with the wind will prevail in the form of snow and wet snow in the areas that I noted – northern and northwestern,” warned Natalya Ptukha.
According to it, on November 24, light rain and sleet are expected in the western, northern and eastern regions, and the rest of the territory without precipitation.
