In the mountainous areas of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Zakarpattia oblasts, as well as in the Crimean mountains, localized precipitation of 60-98 millimeters is possible. Natalia Ptukha emphasized that a precipitation deficit is expected during the first ten days of March. This early spring dryness is a typical feature of the region's transitional weather patterns.

Potential Temperature Extremes

The absolute minimum temperature in March could drop to between -23.7°C and -36.1°C, while the absolute maximum is predicted to range from +12.3°C to +21.9°C.

"Overall, it will be -2°C…-8°C at night and 0°C…+6°C during the day," noted Ptukha.

The forecasts for March 2023 in Ukraine point to a cold start to spring with the potential for significant temperature swings. The precipitation deficit in the month's opening days could impact the agricultural sector, particularly in the context of preparing for the sowing season. Close attention to weather conditions will be crucial for farmers and residents in areas prone to heavy precipitation, as well as for anyone planning outdoor activities. Given these factors, the importance of regularly monitoring weather updates remains high.
