What to Expect Over the Next Few Days
From July 11 through July 13, most of Ukraine will experience short-lived rain and thunderstorms. Nighttime temperatures will vary between 9 and 17°C, while daytime readings will range from 17 to 25°C, reaching up to 28°C in the south and east. This forecast marks a notable cooldown after the extreme heat that gripped the country in late June. There is also a reference to a long-range outlook for July 6–12, 2026.
These conditions could have mixed effects on agriculture: while the rain and storms may improve soil moisture, they also pose a risk to crops. The temperature swings and shifting weather patterns observed recently may point to broader climatic changes, prompting farmers to adapt. Although the 2026 forecast is not the main focus, it may interest meteorologists and agronomists tracking long-term weather trends in Ukraine.
