As reported by RBC-Ukraine citing the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, precipitation will be of a local nature: rain is not forecast for most of the country, while brief showers with thunderstorms are possible in some areas of the south and southeast. Thus, the day will pass without a pronounced front, and weather fluctuations will be limited to certain regions. ### Warm in the south and southeast According to the hydrometeorological center data, it is precisely in the south and southeast of the country that brief rain, locally with thunderstorms, is expected. No precipitation is forecast for the rest of Ukraine. This means that the majority of the population will meet the day in dry and warm conditions, while rainy and thunderstorm phenomena will remain a local occurrence for the regions bordering the Black and Azov Seas. ### Wind and daytime gusts During the day, the wind will be predominantly northeasterly at 5–10 m/s. However, in the south and southeast of the country, daytime gusts of 15–20 m/s are expected in places, which may accompany thunderstorm cells and create the sensation of a stronger wind than the background. Meteorologists recommend taking these gusts into account when planning trips and outdoor work in the specified regions. ### Kyiv and Kyiv region In the capital and the region on August 28, variable cloudiness without precipitation is expected. Weather conditions in Kyiv, according to the hydrometeorological center, will be calm: without rain and thunderstorms, which confirms the general trend of dry weather for the central part of the country. Variable cloudiness may provide brief shading but will not have a significant impact on the temperature regime. ### Contradictory data In publications by different media outlets, a difference in the presentation of the same picture is traceable. RBC-Ukraine and the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center characterize the day as warm, up to +31 degrees, with local rain and thunderstorms. At the same time, a number of media outlets (for example, materials in the spirit of 'the heat is receding') emphasize the receding heat and the expansion of the zone of rainy and thunderstorm phenomena, which may give the reader the impression of a wetter and cooler day than follows from the numerical forecast. Moreover, the publication dates of the forecast in different sources differ: some materials are dated August 26–27, while the main forecast refers to August 28. In essence, both versions describe the same scenario — warm up to +31 with local precipitation in the south and southeast — the difference is predominantly editorial and chronological in nature. ### Context: September and climate change Against the backdrop of the August forecast, meteorologists had previously described what September in Ukraine might be like, and also reminded what Ukrainians should be prepared for in the context of global climate change. These materials complement the current picture: local thunderstorms and gusty wind in the south are becoming a more typical scenario for summer and early summer months, which requires residents to be ready for rapid weather changes during the day. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Warm up to +31, rain and thunderstorms in places: what the weather will be like in Ukraine today](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/teplo-31-mistsyami-doshchi-ta-grozi-koyu-1787837223.html) - Базовый источник: до +31, на юге и юго-востоке кратковременные дожди и грозы, остальная территория без осадков, ветер СВ 5–10 м/с с порывами 15–20 м/с, в Киеве без осадков. - [Rain, thunderstorms and temperature up to +31° are forecast in Ukraine](https://www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2026/08/26/8050446/) - Подтверждает значения до +31° и наличие дождей/гроз; материал датирован 26.08.2026. - [The heat is finally receding from Ukraine: which regions will be flooded with rain and thunderstorms](https://glavred.info/synoptic/zhara-okonchatelno-otstupaet-iz-ukrainy-kakie-oblasti-zalyut-dozhdi-i-grozy-10790582.html) - Альтернативная редакционная подача — акцент на отступлении жары и расширении зоны дождей; цифровое ядро совпадает с базовым прогнозом. - [The country will be covered by rain with thunderstorms - forecast for August 27](https://gazeta.ua/ru/articles/life/_stranu-nakroyut-dozhdi-s-grozami-prognoz-na-27-avgusta/1257416) - Контекстный прогноз на 27 августа о дождях с грозами; используется как предыдущий сценарий, а не как данные на 28 августа. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What temperature is expected in Ukraine on August 28? **A:** According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, warm weather with maximum values up to +31 degrees is expected. ### Q: Where will there be rain and thunderstorms on August 28? **A:** Brief rain, locally with thunderstorms, is expected in the south and southeast of the country.
