## Key Points

- On November 13, Ukraine expects storm winds with gusts of 15–22 m/s.
- Most regions will see rain, locally turning into snow; temperatures will be contrasting, from +4…+8°C in the west to +19°C in certain areas.
- In Kyiv, wind speeds up to 15–20 m/s and temperatures up to +12°C; caution is advised for weather-sensitive people.
- Meteorologist advises clearing balconies of loose items and avoiding old trees and billboards.
- From November 14–15, the weather will return to its normal November rhythm, although such warm anomalies remain possible.

On November 13, Ukraine is expected to experience one of the most contrasting and windy days of the second half of autumn. According to meteorologist Natalka Didenko, the synoptic situation in the country will be significantly influenced by atmospheric fronts, leading to a combination of rainy weather, strong winds, and sharp temperature fluctuations. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Didenko’s post on Facebook. Humid weather with rain will prevail in most regions, however, in some areas the air could warm up to +19°C, while in others, rain will transition into snow.

### Storm winds: gusts up to 22 m/s and a warning for residents

The main threat on Friday, November 13, will be the wind. Didenko emphasized that strong winds with storm gusts of up to 15–22 meters per second are expected across Ukraine. The meteorologist strongly urged residents to remove all loose objects from balconies and yards that could be blown away, and to avoid staying near large old trees and billboards. The meteorologist paid particular attention to parking, emphasizing the need to choose a safe parking zone with extreme care.

### "Temperature spike": from +4°C in the west to +19°C in certain regions

In addition to the wind, a noticeable spike in air temperature is expected in Ukraine on November 13. The distribution of heat will be extremely uneven. Cooler weather is expected in the western regions of the country — about +4…+8°C, while in other regions, the thermometer could rise to +19°C. According to Didenko, this contrast is caused by the active movement of atmospheric fronts, which will determine the weather across most of Ukraine on this day.

### Kyiv: up to +12°C, but winds of 20 m/s and risk for weather-sensitive individuals

Friday also promises to be windy in the capital. According to Didenko, strong winds reaching speeds of 15–20 meters per second are expected in Kyiv on November 13. Meanwhile, the air temperature in the capital may rise to +12°C. The meteorologist warned that such a combination of heat and strong wind could "make heads and vessels spin," so weather-sensitive individuals should be especially cautious and, if necessary, limit physical activity and stay in well-ventilated, but draft-free areas.

### When the normal November rhythm will return

According to Didenko, as early as November 14–15 (Saturday and Sunday), the synoptic situation in Ukraine will "return to its normal November rhythm." This means that the storm winds and anomalous heat will give way to typical temperature readings for the second half of autumn and moderate precipitation. At the same time, the meteorologist added that such "warm temperature spikes" will still be observed in November, so sharp temperature changes will remain a characteristic feature of the weather pattern in the coming weeks.

### Context: November weather and climate trends

The contrasting weather of November 13 fits into the broader context of November weather anomalies that have been recorded by Ukrainian meteorological services in recent years. Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported on how air pollution in several settlements of the Kyiv region affects the local microclimate and also published clarifications on what the overall weather might be like in November. Separately, Vira Balabukh, Head of the Department of Applied Meteorology and Climatology at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute, provided forecasts regarding what the winter of 2026/2027 might look like in Ukraine.
