Over the upcoming weekend, November 14 and 15, the weather in Ukraine will be determined primarily by the anticyclonic nature of air masses. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing a publication by meteorologist and forecaster Natalia Didenko on Facebook. According to her, after a relatively warm Friday, November 13, a noticeable cold snap that has already "settled" in the western regions will arrive across most of the country. At the same time, precipitation is expected to be sparse in most regions—according to the expert's forecast, fogs will attempt to "replace" it.

The Anticyclone Takes Over: What to Expect Over the Weekend

According to Didenko's forecast, on Saturday, November 14, rains will occur only in the east of the country and in Crimea. "And that's it for the weekend," the forecaster emphasized, pointing out that no further precipitation is expected in most oblasts. During daytime hours, thermometer readings across most of Ukraine, according to her data, will fluctuate within +4…+8 °C. Thus, after a warm Friday, the weather will noticeably cool down, and this cold snap, in the expert's estimation, will "stay somewhat chilly" in the following days.

Fogs Instead of Rain: Humidity and Reduced Visibility

The factor of fogs deserves special attention. Didenko notes that under anticyclonic weather conditions, fogs will "attempt to replace precipitation"—meaning that instead of wet weather, residents of many regions can expect increased air humidity and reduced visibility. This is especially important for drivers and pedestrians to consider: morning visibility on roads can drop sharply, while the asphalt remains damp. This exact picture—dense fog, limited visibility, and a lonely car on an empty highway—is characteristic of anticyclonic morning hours in November.

Kyiv: Dry, with Possible Clearings on Sunday

For the capital, the forecast looks even drier. According to Didenko, precipitation is unlikely in Kyiv throughout November 14–15. "And on Sunday, sunny clearings are even possible," the specialist clarified. Daytime temperatures in the capital, according to her forecast, will be around +4…+6 °C—that is, at or slightly below the national weighted average. This means that Kyiv residents should prepare for cool, but mostly dry weather without the need to carry an umbrella every time they go out.

When Will the Warmth Return

In conclusion, the expert reported that "somewhat chilly weather will persist" going forward, although based on preliminary forecasts, the next rise in air temperature is expected roughly by Wednesday. Earlier, the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center also noted that it would get warmer in Ukraine, but only for one day, after which the weather could turn cooler again. Thus, forecasters do not promise a sudden and steady warming in the coming days: the weekend and the beginning of next week will pass under the regime of an anticyclone, fogs, and moderate cold.
