Severe frosts in Ukraine will not recede in the near future, and a slight warming is possible only at the end of January.

This was reported by Natalia Ptukha, a forecaster at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, Interfaxreports .

According to her, no significant changes in weather conditions are expected in Ukraine in the coming days. Forecasters do not predict an additional decrease in temperature, but there will be no significant warming yet. Precipitation in Ukraine is also unlikely in the coming days.

According to the forecast of the Ukrhydrometeorological Center, from January 13 to 18, winter weather will persist in Ukraine with frosty nights and sub-zero temperatures during the day in most regions. It will be somewhat warmer in the south, southeast of the country, and in Transcarpathia.
