## 🎯 Key Points

- On August 8, Kyiv is expected to have a thunderstorm with gusty winds and hail.
- A yellow danger level has been declared.
- Residents are advised to avoid dangerous areas and know the contacts of emergency services.
- The problem of low water levels in Ukrainian rivers remains relevant.

On August 8, Kyiv is expected to experience a significant deterioration in weather conditions. The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center has declared a yellow danger level, warning the capital's residents of the possibility of severe thunderstorms, gusty winds, and hail. Forecasters predict that the bad weather will affect the city throughout the day, creating risks for pedestrians and motorists.

### Weather forecast and temperature regime

According to meteorologists, Kyiv will be cloudy with clearings. The wind will be from the north, with gusts reaching 5–10 m/s. At night, the air temperature will be around +20°C, while during the day the air will warm up to 25–27°C. However, thunderstorm fronts may lead to sharp temperature fluctuations and local flooding of streets.

### Precautionary measures for residents

During the thunderstorm, city residents are urged to exercise special caution. It is recommended to avoid staying near advertising structures, power lines, and large trees, which may fall under the influence of gusty winds. It is also not recommended to leave cars near such objects to avoid damage to the vehicle.

### Emergency services contacts

In the event of emergencies due to bad weather, Kyiv residents can contact the relevant services. In case of flooding of roads or sidewalks, you should call the Kyivavtodor dispatch at 044 284 74 19. If a tree has fallen or branches have broken due to bad weather, you must contact the emergency dispatch service of "Kyivzelenstroy" at 044 272 40 18.

If the falling of trees or branches threatens life, you should immediately contact the rescuers at 101 or the CARC — 044 430 37 13. If people are injured, call 103. Malfunctions of traffic lights or road signs can be reported at 050 387 35 42.

### Contradictory data

Although the main forecast indicates a yellow danger level, some sources report a possible strengthening of the wind to gusty values, which may require a review of the warning level. In addition, there are discrepancies in the forecasts for the start time of the thunderstorm: some sources indicate the second half of the day, others — the evening hours.

### Environmental context: the problem of low water levels

We remind you that in July, most rivers in Ukraine maintained a low water level: indicators were lower, and in some places significantly lower than normal. In certain areas of the Pripyat, Southern and Western Bug basins, low water levels were recorded, and on some sections of the Pripyat and Western Bug, average water discharges dropped below the ecologically necessary level, creating critical conditions for river ecosystems. August thunderstorms may temporarily improve the situation, but the long-term consequences of the drought remain a serious problem.
