Will the forecast of groundhog Timka the Third for spring come true.

The climatologist noted that unstable spring weather awaits Ukrainians in 2022. She added that on Groundhog Day, Timka the Third was not mistaken in his forecast..

" This year the groundhog was not mistaken. If the forecast comes true, then the processes that will be observed in February will lead to the fact that the temperature will be quite high,” Balabukh explained..

Spring according to plan: what will the weather be like in February and March.

The forecaster stressed that spring processes will prevail in Ukraine in February, and the winter of 2022 was relatively warm..

She added that the average air temperature will be higher than in the past few years, but cold days are also expected..

“We expect that during the month the average temperature will be one to two degrees warmer than it has been observed in recent years.. However, there will probably be temporary cold spells in the spring,” Balabukh said..

According to the forecast of the climatologist, in February and March there will be windy weather due to powerful cyclones.

“We have seen quite a powerful activity of the northern Arctic cyclones, which led not so much to a decrease in temperature as to very strong winds.. Just for February and March, a high wind speed is typical - during this period there will be the highest winds throughout the year, ”she warned.

Unusual weather phenomena: do they threaten Ukraine.

According to the forecaster, uncharacteristic weather phenomena have become more frequent and aggravated in Ukraine.

“Torrential rains and snowfalls in Ukraine have been observed before, the problem is that these phenomena are happening more and more often..

Their intensity also increased. If hail falls, then its size is very large - hailstones are like cherries or nuts, ”explained the expert..

She warned that these phenomena are cause for concern..

“These are very disturbing bells.. The trend leads to the fact that such phenomena will continue to be observed more often, and their intensity will grow,” Balabukh concluded..
