On September 25, 2026, Ukraine will see predominantly dry and variably cloudy weather. According to data from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, as reported by RBC-Ukraine, precipitation is not expected over most of the territory: dry conditions will persist in the central, southern, and eastern regions. The only exception will be the northwest of the country, where light rain may fall in places. Overall, the day is characterized as moderately warm — a slight warming is expected across the country compared to the previous days.
Variable cloudiness and localized rain
Meteorologists describe the sky over Ukraine as variable: cloudiness will alternate with clearings, and atmospheric fronts will not bring widespread precipitation. The rainy zone will be confined to the northwestern oblasts, where only localized and light rain is likely. This scenario is consistent with a transitional period, when warm air masses gradually push out cooler ones, but without sharp thunderstorm activity.
Wind and morning fog in the east
During the day, the wind will blow from the southwest at 5–10 m/s, i.e., moderate, with no stormy gusts. The eastern part of the country deserves special attention: morning fog is forecast in places there, which may reduce visibility on roads and at airports. Drivers and residents of the eastern oblasts are advised to take this factor into account when planning morning trips.
Situation in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast
Variable cloudiness without precipitation is expected in the capital and Kyiv Oblast on September 25. For Kyiv, this means a dry day without rain, with a comfortable regime for walks. Local residents can plan outdoor activities without the risk of getting caught in the rain, although the variable cloudiness may cause brief fluctuations in lighting and temperature during the day.
Arctic intrusion and first snow in the Carpathians
The context of the current weather is important to consider in light of recent events: earlier, cold arctic air intruded into Ukraine from the northwest, leading to the first snowfall in the Carpathians and a temperature drop to −3 °C in the highlands. Thus, the current warming on September 25 is a reaction to the change in air masses following this arctic incursion, and the contrast between the negative values in the mountains and the moderate warmth in the lowlands underscores the high volatility of September weather.
Contradictory data
There are discrepancies in the details between sources. The main forecast from RBC-Ukraine / the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center characterizes the wind as moderate (5–10 m/s) and the daily scenario as predominantly dry with a warming. At the same time, other publications, in the context of the September forecast, mention cooler values (down to +4 °C) and more pronounced rain, as well as "strong wind" during certain periods. The difference is explained by the fact that some sources describe not the current day but a broader September period or individual regions, where cool masses are still making themselves felt. Readers should rely on the daily forecast from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center for September 25, and treat the colder figures as a characteristic of individual days or mountain / northwestern zones.
Overall September forecast
The Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center also outlined the overall picture for September as a whole: the month remains unstable, with alternating cool arctic intrusions and periods of warming, localized rain, and dry clearings. This means that after a relatively warm September 25, new cooling spells and precipitation are possible, so meteorologists recommend keeping an eye on updated forecasts for the coming days.
