At the end of June, Ukraine is expected to experience large-scale atmospheric phenomena. Forecasters have warned that on June 29 and 30, thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail, and gusty winds are possible in various regions of the country. According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the Kyiv City State Administration, the bad weather will be local in nature but will require increased vigilance from the population.

Risk map: where to expect the elements

Although the exact areas for each day will be clarified in real-time, it is already known that on June 29, hail clouds and wind gusts are expected in certain locations. The situation may worsen on June 30, when the forecast includes thunderstorms, hail, and squalls. Meteorological conditions will change dynamically, so residents are advised to follow up-to-date bulletins in their region.

Possible consequences for infrastructure

Heavy precipitation and wind create risks for the functioning of the urban environment. Experts note that bad weather may complicate the work of energy networks, construction sites, and utility services. Interruptions in transport movement are also possible due to reduced visibility and the condition of the road surface.

Safety rules during a thunderstorm

Specialists urge citizens to observe safety precautions during periods of extreme weather. During a thunderstorm, it is categorically not recommended to stay near:

  • Billboards and structures;
  • Power lines;
  • Large trees and isolated plants.

It is also advisable to avoid parking vehicles in close proximity to the aforementioned objects to avoid exposing vehicles to the risk of damage from falling branches or structures.

Context: heat and records

This forecast comes against the backdrop of a sharp change in weather: earlier in Kyiv, restrictions were introduced on the movement of certain types of transport due to anomalous heat. More than 20 temperature records have been recorded in the country. Meteorologists at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center have already begun preparing forecasts for July, warning that the climatic situation remains unstable.
