Previously, Ukrhydrometcenter reported what the weather will be like in January.

The expected cooling and snow are unlikely to surprise Ukrainians, as winter weather usually brings with it cold and precipitation. Nevertheless, drivers and pedestrians must be careful due to possible icy conditions on the roads. The government urges the public to follow safety rules, especially while moving around the city in winter conditions.

Keeping warm and safe during these cold days is extremely important. Advance preparation for bad weather can help avoid many problems, so meteorologists advise keeping track of weather forecast updates.
