By the end of the first ten days of February and at the beginning of the second, rather non-standard synoptic conditions will develop in the vastness of the Atlantic-European sector. A large high-pressure zone is expected to develop, stretching in a latitudinal direction from the Azores to the Urals and Western Siberia. Cyclonic activity will be practically absent and will be observed far beyond the Arctic Circle, as well as in Scandinavia and Turkey. The similar nature of atmospheric processes will lead to the departure of large portions of heat to the Arctic, while cold and dry air will spread throughout Central and especially southeastern Europe..

Winter weather will set in Ukraine in the new week with small places of moderate precipitation in the form of snow and air temperature below the norm by 1-4 °С. The most noticeable drop in temperature will be felt by residents of western Ukraine.
