A ray of light was offered to Ukrainians experiencing power disruptions due to Russian strikes on energy installations on Thursday when Ukrainian weather analysts predicted a milder winter than usual.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, since October 10 airstrikes have destroyed about a third of Ukraine’s power plants, and the nation is currently experiencing power shortages as repairs are made.
Although Ukraine’s winters may be long and arduous, the government-run weather predicting centre predicted this winter’s temperatures might be a little warmer than usual.
It posted on Facebook that ‘the chance of protracted periods of very cold weather with a minimum temperature of minus 25 to 30 Celsius degrees in Ukraine is quite unlikely’ and that ‘the average temperature of the winter period is projected to be 1-2 degrees (Celsius) higher than the norm.’
It stated that there was a ‘mostly possible short-term substantial chill lasting 1-5 days, when the overnight low will be minus 15-20 Celsius degrees.’
