However, according to Kulbida, there will not be a comfortable cool summer in Ukraine either, as the average temperature in July-August in Ukraine has increased by 2.5-2.8 degrees, and the number of days with a temperature of +30 degrees and above has doubled.
Kulbida also spoke about the fact that synoptic observations are not carried out in the occupied regions, as metrological stations and equipment were damaged due to hostilities. However, forecasting the weather in all territories, including temporarily occupied ones, is helped by the information that forecasters receive from satellites.
