The city will see mostly overcast skies, ranging from +12\u00b0 to +15\u00b0, along with strong winds, making conditions feel colder. Atmospheric pressure will remain low, adding to the discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Moving beyond Kyiv, western parts of Ukraine, including regions like Lviv, Lutsk, Rivne, and Ternopil, are set to experience cooler nights with temperatures dropping to +6\u00b0C. These areas will see daytime temperatures rise to +17\u00b0C. Similar conditions are expected in Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Chernivtsi, while Uzhhorod will face cloudiness and rain coupled with these temperature patterns.<\/p>\n<p>In central and southern regions, including Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Kropyvnytskyi, and Poltava, a thunderstorm front will become apparent. Despite daytime temperatures reaching up to +21\u00b0, rain and thunderstorms are likely to feature prominently. Coastal cities like Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson will follow the same weather pattern, with occasional thunderstorms predicted.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern parts of Ukraine will see slightly warmer temperatures, like in Kharkiv with a high of 23\u00b0C, but will still experience unstable weather with precipitation. Meanwhile, Crimea is not exempt; in Simferopol, cloudy skies with rain and thunderstorms are expected, with temperatures fluctuating between +11\u00b0 and +20\u00b0. This unprecedented shift in weather patterns suggests that residents across Ukraine should be prepared for wet and cold conditions countrywide.<\/p>\n<p>\u0414\u0436\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043b\u043e: <a href=\"https:\/\/ua.news\/en\/ukraine\/13-travnia-pogoda-v-kiievi-rizko-pogirshitsia\">ua.news<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 13, Ukraine will face a weather shift with rain and temperature drops.
