The evening hours could bring even more intense cold, with the potential for readings to sink to -25°C. The peak of this extreme cold is expected to last from February 1st through the 3rd.

Impact on Daily Life and Infrastructure

This frigid weather is driven by a high-pressure anticyclone settling over the country, which will also bring dry, precipitation-free conditions. Meteorologist Natalka Didenko has confirmed these severe forecasts, highlighting the significant weather event facing Ukrainians. Such extreme winter conditions are a serious test for national infrastructure, which has faced additional strain in recent years.
