Weather in Ukraine on November 3: cloudy, no significant precipitation, rain only in Odesa and Crimea, wet snow in the Carpathians

On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Ukraine will experience mostly cloudy weather without significant precipitation. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the Ukrhydrometeorological Center, light rain is expected only locally in the Odesa region and Crimea. No precipitation is forecasted for the rest of the country, while atmospheric conditions will be determined by a northern wind and moderate autumn temperatures.

Precipitation and Cloud Cover by Region

According to forecasters, most regions of Ukraine will see a cloudy day. No significant precipitation is expected: wet weather will be limited to the southern coast and Crimea, where light rain is possible. The rest of the regions will experience dry, cloudy weather with sunny intervals, typical for early November.

Wind and Temperature Background

The wind will blow from the north, and in the southern part of the country from the northeast, at a speed of 3–8 m/s. At night, air temperatures ranged from 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, and during the day the air will warm up to 5–11° above zero. In the southeastern part of the country, figures will be higher: 4–9° Celsius at night, and 10–15° expected during the day.

The Carpathians: First Wet Snow

In the mountainous part of the country, the weather will be noticeably colder. During the day, light wet snow is possible in the Carpathians, and the air temperature will drop to around 0°C. This is one of the first persistent snow episodes of the season for the high-altitude areas.

How the War Affects the Weather in Ukraine

Special attention should be paid to the impact of military actions on atmospheric processes. According to available data, large fires following shelling create powerful thermal flows that form their own local weather systems. In addition, emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides increase the likelihood of acid rain, which places an additional burden on already damaged ecosystems.

Damage to Ecosystems and Forest Recovery Timelines

The war is harming every ecosystem in Ukraine. According to Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Yakiv Didukh, forests have suffered the most, and their full recovery will take at least 60 years. Thus, even with the stabilization of the situation, the consequences for the natural environment will be felt for decades.
