"So, while the frosts are still lingering in the corridor, you can't push them out, another air mass is already approaching the entrance, waving a handbag with higher temperatures," Didenko noted.

But in the western regions tomorrow "the first signs of warming already," during the day -2-6 degrees, in Zakarpattia up to +4 degrees, Didenko noted.
"The anticyclone will begin to break down, so cloudiness will increase, snow and wet snow (with rain in Zakarpattia) will pass in the western part of Ukraine," she reported.
According to her data, precipitation will reach Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, and Odesa regions tomorrow during the day. In the rest of Ukraine on Wednesday - no significant precipitation.
In the western regions, a strong southeast wind with stormy gusts is expected tomorrow, in the rest of the territory - moderate, sometimes gusty.

"That is, the coming change in weather will already be felt - dear meteopaths, prepare your "captopress", "nurofen" and mint teas. From February 5, the Atlantic and southern currents will begin to press harder, give the anticyclone a boost, the air temperature in Ukraine will rise, precipitation will increase, the wind will strengthen," Didenko noted.
And she indicated that there is a trend that will require clarification.
