4 July 01:03
A significant change in weather conditions is expected in Ukraine this weekend. A cold front from Western Europe is moving into the country, bringing a drop in temperatures, rain of varying intensity, thunderstorms, and, in some areas, hail and squalls. This was reported by the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
Rain and thunderstorms will affect most regions
According to forecasters, on the night of July 4, rain will fall in the northern and central regions, as well as in the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions.
During the day, precipitation is expected across almost the entire territory of Ukraine, with the exception of the southwestern regions.
In some places, the following are forecast:
- heavy rain;
- thunderstorms;
- hail;
- gusts of wind at speeds of 15–20 m/s.
The change in weather will be caused by a cold front, which will displace the hot, dry air that has been lingering over the country in recent days.

After the atmospheric front passes, the air temperature will drop slightly.
At night, temperatures will range from:
- 13–18°C in most regions;

During the day, temperatures will range from:
- 21–26°C in most regions;
