The forecaster emphasized that the heat wave would be prolonged.
"In the coming days, Ukraine is indeed expected to experience a peak of extreme heat, up to +35+40 and above.

Some relief, a decrease in air temperature by a few degrees, is possible in western, northern Ukraine and Vinnytsia region during July 18-20. The south, east, and most of the center will still be in the area of extreme heat. A slight decrease in the heat in the north may be followed by an increase again. Only in the western regions will the air be a few degrees more merciful to nature, people and animals," the forecaster said.
