The Mediterranean cyclone Lukas, from a powerful cyclonic system, with its "cousins" Severin and Roger, will gradually shift eastward tomorrow. Our cyclone with its "children," with atmospheric fronts, will move further to its Ukrainian relatives on August 23. The western part and north of Ukraine will already wave sunny handkerchiefs to the rains, it will clear up here, but the center, east, and finally (hooray!) the southern part of Ukraine will stay in the rains they have been waiting for
