The Coming Winter in Ukraine Will Be Record Cold: Meteorologists on Arctic Frosts.

Weather Forecast for Winter 2025-2026

According to inkorr.com: During the winter period of 2025-2026, Europe, including Ukraine, is expected to experience harsh weather. The international meteorological portal MkWeather predicts possible record frosts and heavy snowfall.

Two Phases of Winter

Meteorologists believe this winter will be divided into two distinct phases. December is expected to be stormy and wet, predominantly in the western part of Europe. In contrast, January and February promise Arctic cold, with particularly sharp frosts in February.

During the winter of 2025/2026, a snow cover above average has already been observed in Siberia. This indicates that the eastern current into Europe will be stronger than usual

Consequences for Europe

Experts note that Italy, Greece, and the Balkans may also suffer from the consequences of such weather, including storms, rains, and snowfalls.

Risks for Ukraine

For Ukraine, which is one of the coldest regions of Eastern Europe, there is a high risk of weather anomalies. Although winter will begin relatively mild, January and February will bring increased frosts and snowfalls, with the possible formation of a persistent snow cover.

Especially harsh winter is expected in the central and eastern regions of Ukraine, where record low temperatures are forecast.

Overall, the winter of 2025-2026 promises to be difficult for all of Europe, with record frosts and snowfalls. The clear delineation of the phases of winter, where December will be marked by storms and moisture, while January and February will be under Arctic cold, makes this forecast particularly important. For Ukraine, with its cold winters, this situation will require special attention, as January and February could become a true test of endurance.
