Weather Forecast for Ukraine on February 27

A high-pressure system and a cold air mass will bring cloudy conditions across Ukraine on Tuesday, February 27. Icy glaze is a significant hazard, particularly on roadways. Temperatures will range widely from a high of +8°C to a severe low of -12°C, with winds of 5-10 m/s. While no precipitation is expected in the Kyiv region or the capital itself, drivers should be prepared for patches of fog and black ice.

In Crimea, wet snow and rain are possible overnight. Winds are forecast to be southeasterly in most areas, shifting to northerly in the eastern and southern regions.

Nighttime temperatures nationwide will fall between -2°C and -8°C, dropping to a bitter -9°C to -12°C in the Carpathian Mountains. Daytime highs will vary from -2°C to +3°C, with warmer readings of +2°C to +8°C expected in the south and west of the country.

  • In the Kyiv region, expect nighttime lows of -3°C to -8°C and daytime highs from -2°C to +3°C.

Caution is strongly advised on roads due to the risk of ice, especially during the morning hours. Such winter conditions are not uncommon for late February in Ukraine, but they require heightened awareness from motorists. The combination of ice, fog, and fluctuating temperatures will likely impact travel safety and could lead to delays. Drivers are urged to reduce speed, increase following distance, and stay alert for rapidly changing road conditions.
