So far, precipitation is not too bothersome — it quickly comes and goes just as quickly.
Over the entire period of meteorological observations, the hottest Independence Day in Ukraine was recorded in 1946, when in some regions thermometers rose to a sweltering 39 degrees. This year, on August 24, forecasters promise summer-like 27… 29 °C during the day, except for the western regions, where it will be cooler — up to 22 °C. Precipitation on August 24 is possible in the morning in the west, in the afternoon — in places in the central regions, and in the evening — in the north and center of the country. However, as always, meteorologists build forecasts based on models, and the real atmosphere often makes its own adjustments.
In western Ukraine, from August 21 to 23, calm cloudy weather is expected with temperatures from 21 °C to 25 °C. At night it will be quite fresh — 12… 15 °C. In Zakarpattia, there are more sunny days and it is warmer: 24… 27 °C during the day, around 16 °C at night.

On Independence Day, excellent summer weather is forecast in the capital: 21 °C in the morning, 27 °C in the afternoon, and rains are not excluded in the evening. A light southern breeze will only add coziness to the holiday, which this time promises to be especially rich. However, the festive mood largely depends on ourselves, and in any weather, it can be created by our own efforts.
