On Friday, June 12, the weather in Ukraine will become significantly more unstable. Forecasters predict rain, thunderstorms, heavy downpours in some areas, squalls, hail, and sharp temperature contrasts between regions. It will get noticeably cooler in the west of the country, while the east will still see temperatures reaching 30 degrees.

According to her, the change in weather will be caused by an atmospheric front moving in from the west and gradually covering most regions of Ukraine.

According to Natalka Didenko’s forecast, a wide range of weather phenomena is expected in Ukraine on June 12—from rain and thunderstorms to squalls and hail.

“The atmospheric front will bring all these colorful ‘candy’ weather phenomena. It will move in from the west, so as early as tomorrow, June 12, temperatures in our western regions will drop to 11–15 degrees,” the meteorologist reported.

Rain is forecast in many regions due to the passage of the atmospheric front. Precipitation will spread across the country gradually as the front moves forward.

“Rain is expected everywhere as the atmospheric front moves through. At times, the rain may turn into heavy downpours, and there is a high probability of thunderstorms,” Didenko noted.

Where will it be coldest

The western regions of Ukraine will feel the most noticeable drop in temperature on Friday. There, daytime temperatures will drop to 11–15 degrees.

This will be a significant contrast to the previous warm days and to the weather in other regions of the country. Due to rain and gusty winds in the west, the weather may feel even cooler.
