## 🎯 Key Points

- On August 29, temperatures in Ukraine will not exceed +28°, with variable cloud cover expected.
- Precipitation only in the west: brief rain and a thunderstorm possible in places during the day.
- Southeasterly wind at 7–12 m/s, with gusts of 15–20 m/s in the western oblasts during the day.
- In Kyiv and the region — variable cloud cover without precipitation.

Today, August 29, a slight cooling is expected across Ukraine. According to data from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, cited by RBC-Ukraine, air temperatures during the day will not exceed +28°. Forecasters predict variable cloud cover and generally dry weather, with the exception of the western regions, where a precipitation zone remains in place.

### Overall picture across the country

During the day, variable cloud cover without precipitation will persist over most of Ukraine's territory. Only in the western part of the country is brief rain and a thunderstorm possible in places during the day. As a result, the majority of the population will meet the end of August without rain, while the precipitation zone remains confined to the western oblasts.

### Wind and the western regions

The wind will be predominantly southeasterly at 7–12 m/s. In the western oblasts, gusts of up to 15–20 m/s are expected during the day, which coincides with the zone of possible thunderstorms and calls for caution when outdoors in open areas or near trees.

### Kyiv and the region

In the capital and the Kyiv region, forecasters promise variable cloud cover without precipitation. For Kyiv, this means a dry and relatively comfortable day without rain, which is consistent with the clear weather in the city center seen in the photos from Independence Square.

### Contradictory data

It is important to note the discrepancy in how different outlets present the picture. The UHC's daily forecast for August 29 records a moderate cooling to +28° and dry weather almost everywhere. At the same time, a number of TV channels in their reviews of the last days of summer emphasize the persistence of heat and stormy gusts in certain regions, as well as thunderstorm activity. The difference is explained by the fact that weekly and "weekend" reviews cover a broader time and regional horizon, whereas the summary for the current day reflects local dynamics. For a specific day, it is best to rely on the UHC's daily updates.

### Context: September and climate

Recall that earlier forecasters already described how September might turn out in Ukraine, and also explained what consequences of global climate change the country's residents should prepare for. Against this backdrop, the current slight cooling at the end of August looks like a typical off-season correction rather than the beginning of sustained cool weather.
