On Memorial Sunday, Ukrainians are expecting mostly sunny and cold weather. In the Sumy region, wet snow is possible at night. During the day, the temperature will fluctuate between +10...+16 degrees across the country. Most regions may experience ground frost. In Kyiv, on April 27th, sunny and cool weather is expected, with night temperatures ranging from +1...+3 degrees and daytime temperatures from +10...+12 degrees.

Meteorologists advise to dress warmer, as many people will be visiting cemeteries in the morning to remember their relatives and friends. This is a time of memory and prayer for the deceased.

On Memorial Days, it is customary to visit the graves of loved ones, bringing live flowers, blessed willow, or dried flowers to the cemetery. Lanterns are also lit at the graves and candles with black ribbons are brought. Additionally, Easter dishes are typically brought to the cemetery, which can later be given to beggars or left on the graves for others to take. Before visiting the graves, people usually go to church to pray for the deceased.
