According to him, February in Ukraine began with a noticeable change in weather conditions.. The intensification of cyclonic activity, as well as the influx of air masses from the northwest, led to a slight decrease in air temperature and precipitation, mainly in the form of snow and sleet.

As a result, on February 3, in most of the territory of our country (with the exception of the southern half), a snow cover was formed, 1 - 7 cm high.

In the next two days, a further decrease in the temperature background is expected as a result of increased cold advection from the north.. The air temperature will be within the normal range, in the western regions even below the norm by 3-5 °С. Only in the south until warm weather persists. In some places, precipitation will occur mainly in the form of snow, in some places significant in the western regions. Roads covered with ice and snow. Thus, classic winter weather will be established in Ukraine for the weekend with a negative average daily temperature and snow on most of the territory..
