Weather in Ukraine on October 31: Cloudy, Rains, and Cooling Down to +12°C According to Ukrhydrometeorological Center

On the final day of October 2026, October 31, forecasters in Ukraine expect cloudy and mostly rainy weather with a noticeable cooling: air temperatures will drop to +12°C in some areas. These data are reported by RBC-Ukraine citing the Ukrhydrometeorological Center. According to the forecast, most regions of the country will experience precipitation on this day, which corresponds to typical late-autumn cyclonic weather and concludes October against a backdrop of damp and cool conditions.

How Precipitation Is Distributed Across Regions

According to clarifications from the Ukrhydrometeorological Center, moderate rains are expected in most southern and central oblasts, as well as in Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts. In the rest of the country, precipitation will be light in places. Thus, rainy weather will affect almost the entire territory of Ukraine, although the intensity of precipitation will be uneven, being most pronounced in the south, center, and northeast of the country.

Wind and Temperature Background

The wind on the last day of October will be predominantly northwesterly, while in the eastern oblasts its direction will shift to southeasterly. Wind speeds will reach 5–10 m/s, which does not suggest stormy phenomena, but combined with precipitation, it may enhance the feeling of chilliness. Meanwhile, the temperature background will drop to +12°C, which is typical for the transition period from autumn to winter and confirms the gradual cooling across the country.

"First Snow" in Kyiv: What Forecasters Say

Information actively circulated online these days about the so-called "first snow" in Kyiv, as well as a possible snowfall by the end of next week. At the same time, forecasters remind us that the actual synoptic situation in Ukraine these days may differ from long-term forecasts. The short-term forecast of the Ukrhydrometeorological Center for October 31 records rainy rather than snowy weather, so statements about impending snowfall require caution and confirmation with fresher data.

Climatic Features of November 2026

Earlier, forecasters also shared the climatic features of November in Ukraine, presenting both "traditional" climatic indicators for this period and a preliminary forecast for the final month of autumn 2026. This makes it possible to assess how well the current rainy and cool weather at the end of October fits into multi-year climatic norms and what changes should be expected at the beginning of the winter season.
