According to weather forecasts, the summer of 2022 will be hot and dry, but there will be occasional tropical showers.. This was stated by the head of the Department of Applied Meteorology and Climatology of the UkrSMI State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Vera Balabukh, writes Obozrevatel.

What will affect the weather in summer.

The average air temperature this summer will be one to two degrees higher than usual. Climatologists expect long periods without significant precipitation in July and August, but these may be replaced by heavy showers and thunderstorms.. When it rains, two or even three months of precipitation will fall. The main reason for such phenomena for the third year is the cold current of the Pacific Ocean La Nina..

" Therefore, this trend will be observed for the third year in a row.. This phenomenon will determine the weather in the northern hemisphere.. Therefore, it is expected that the temperature in summer in Europe, especially Central and Eastern (including Ukraine) can be 1-2 degrees higher than usual,"

How the weather will affect the harvest in Ukraine.

The specialist noted that not only people, but also plants will experience stress from high temperatures - anticyclonic weather is expected with a lack of precipitation..

Balabukh stressed that such weather conditions will create problems for agriculture.

" Drought and lack of precipitation will be observed in some regions. Moreover, it should be noted that the La Nina period is characterized by sharp weather changes.. But where they use the irrigation system, even in such conditions they will be able to get a good harvest of vegetables,"

Tatyana Adamenko, Head of the Agrometeorology Department of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, noted that a plentiful harvest of winter crops is expected in summer, but there is still not enough heat for the growth of corn and sunflower.

Which months will be the hottest.

The hottest summer months this year will be July and August.. It is at this time that there will be few opals. But Balabukh added that if it rains, then the norm of precipitation will fall in a few months..

According to her, tornadoes are also typical for such weather..

Forecasters predict that after June 22 in Ukraine the average daily temperature will already be 22-24 degrees Celsius, but little rain is expected.. The average monthly temperature in June will be 18-23 degrees Celsius.
