Weather forecast for July 31 in Ukraine

According to ХВИЛЯ: On July 31, warm dry weather is expected in Ukraine under the influence of a high-pressure area caused by an anticyclone.

The forecast for this date was published by the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, and the information was provided by the publication 'Hvylya'.
