Wind gusts in the east and southeast may reach 15-20 meters per second, adding complications to weather conditions. Western regions will be covered in snow, and strong winds will cause blizzards. Snow, wet snow, and rain are also expected in the east and southeast, while no significant precipitation is forecasted for the rest of the territory.
Expected Warming and Possible Consequences
Warming is expected beginning January 15, with a thaw likely on January 16-17. The forecast for the next week indicates a retreat of frost, which may ease the situation for residents of Ukraine.
In the context of these weather conditions, it is important to pay attention to possible negative consequences for infrastructure and public health, especially in regions with severe frosts and blizzards. Possible power supply interruptions and delays in transportation may affect the livelihoods of communities. Increased temperatures in the east and southeast, meanwhile, may create contrasting conditions that require additional attention to safety.
The expected warming at the end of the week may come as a relief for residents but also bring risks associated with snowmelt and possible flooding.
