The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center announced the weather forecast in Ukraine for Wednesday, January 28, and warned of dangerous meteorological phenomena. Fog, sleet and icy roads are expected in some areas, which could impact traffic. The greatest complications are predicted in the central, northern and western regions.

The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center notes that on January 28, the weather in Ukraine will be formed by a field of low pressure and a moist warm air mass from the Black Sea.

According to forecasters, the atmospheric front will slowly move from the west, bringing precipitation in the form of sleet and rain. The center's message states that "

Wednesday will be marked by cloudy weather throughout almost the entire country. Fog is predicted on the Right Bank, and ice in most central, northern and Kharkov regions. Ice is expected on the roads of Ukraine, except for the south and Transcarpathia. Visibility in fog will in some places be reduced to 200–500 meters, which, however, can be a decisive factor for traffic safety.

Forecasters announced danger level 1, yellow. Such conditions, as noted in the service, traditionally require increased care.. This is especially true in the morning and evening hours, when fog and slippery surfaces are felt most strongly..

The wind on Wednesday will be predominantly southerly, at a speed of 5-10 meters per second.. The air temperature at night will be 1–6 degrees below zero, on the Left Bank in some places up to 9 degrees below zero. During the day the temperature will fluctuate from 2 degrees below zero to 3 degrees above zero.. In the south of the country at night it is expected from 1 degree below zero to 4 degrees Celsius, during the day – 3–8 degrees Celsius, in Crimea – up to 7–12 degrees Celsius.

For the Kyiv region and the capital, cloudy weather with light precipitation, mainly in the form of rain, is forecast. Fog, ice and icy roads are expected in the region and Kyiv. Temperatures in the region at night will be 1–6 degrees below zero, during the day – from 2 degrees below zero to 3 degrees above zero..

In Kyiv, 3–5 degrees below zero is predicted at night, and about 0 degrees during the day..

Separately, weather forecasters pay attention to the hydrological situation. On January 27–28, fluctuations in water levels in the range of 0.3–1.5 meters are expected on the rivers of the Transcarpathian region due to the weakening and clearing of ice cover from the rivers.

Weather conditions can lead to complications in the work of energy, construction, utility enterprises and traffic.

On the Tisza and Latoritsa rivers near Chop, as well as in the lower reaches of Borzhava, destruction of the ice cover, ice drift, possible formation of ice jams with possible sharp increases in water levels within the river beds are expected, but without the threat of negative consequences.

Climatologists summed up the weather results for 2025 in Kyiv. It became the sixth warmest in the capital during the observation period - the average annual temperature was 1.4°C above the climate norm.
