According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, the weather in Ukraine on August 27 will be shaped by variable cloud cover and an active but unreliable precipitation regime. In most regions of the country, forecasters expect brief showers, with thunderstorms in places. The only notable exception will be the northern part of the country, where the probability of precipitation is significantly lower. Thus, the day will pass in a rainy but not catastrophic setting, after which a gradual shift of atmospheric fronts and a warming are expected.

What to expect on August 27: wind and temperature

On Thursday, the wind will be predominantly northeast at 5–10 m/s, which does not create conditions for strong stormy phenomena. During the day, thermometers in most regions will rise to +21…+26°C — moderately warm, but noticeably cooler than in the recent hot days. It is precisely this temperature range, combined with local thunderstorms, that will set the overall character of Thursday: humid, changeable, with periods of calm between the rain fronts.

How precipitation and wind will shift by August 29

According to the UHM multi-day forecast for August 27–29, precipitation in Ukraine will begin to "shift," and the nature of the wind will change: the northeast flow will be replaced by a southeast one, strengthening to 7–12 m/s. Along with this, the air temperature will rise by several degrees. The peak of the warming will fall on Saturday, August 29, when in some regions thermometers may climb to +31°C. This means that after a rainy Thursday and Friday, the country will see the return of summer warmth.

Forecast for Kyiv and the Kyiv region

In the capital and the Kyiv region, Thursday, August 27, will pass with variable cloud cover and no precipitation. On the night of August 28, around +15°C is expected, while during the day the air will warm to +22°C. On August 29, the nighttime background will remain at +15°C, with around +25°C during the day. On August 30, the night will be warmer — around +18°C, with around +25°C during the day. The last day of summer, August 31, promises to be even warmer: +18°C at night and up to +29°C during the day. Thus, Kyiv residents will meet the end of August in comfortable and gradually warming conditions.

Contradictory data

In publications by different outlets covering the same period, a difference in emphasis can be traced. The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center and RBC-Ukraine describe August 27 as a day of brief showers and local thunderstorms with a moderate wind of 5–10 m/s and temperatures up to +26°C. At the same time, a number of TV channels (in particular, TSN) characterize the approaching weather as a "double blow of dangerous weather," with warnings about specific affected cities, which implies a stricter grading of danger than follows from the basic UHM forecast. Meanwhile, UNIAN emphasizes that Ukraine will meet the end of August with sunny weather, which will be spoiled only by the weekend. The actual temperature figures and wind directions in these versions coincide; the difference lies in the assessment of the intensity and "danger" of the phenomena, so readers should rely on the official UHM data and treat the more dramatic wording as editorial interpretation.

Context: how forecasters work and what to expect in September

Recall that the UHM previously explained how weather forecasts are actually created and why a home thermometer may "lie," while meteorologists measure temperature using strict methodologies. In addition, Ukrainians have already been told what September in Ukraine may turn out to be. The combination of these materials complements the picture of late summer: after a rainy Thursday and a gradual warming to +31°C on Saturday, the country enters the final phase of August, which, according to forecasts, will be overall more stable and sunny.
