In Ukraine, there is a steady tendency to increase maximum temperature values, which is anxiety among climatologists and scientists. This was reported by Natalia Ptukha, a representative of the Ukrhydromet Center, during a recent briefing.
Global perspective
Scientists from all over the world believe that the global temperature in this century will increase by at least 2.5 ° C, which exceeds the established international target of 1.5 ° C. This not only threatens ecosystems, but also calls into question climate stability on the planet.
Trends in Ukraine
According to the bird, the situation with temperature in Ukraine deteriorates not only in the context of local changes, but also in connection with global climatic changes. In 2024, every month became abnormally warm, in particular winter temperatures exceeded the forecasts by 1.5 degrees. Climate deterioration is observed not only in Ukraine but also in Southeastern Europe, as well as in the United States, where record temperatures are recorded on the west coast.
Currently, the tendency to increase warm periods is becoming more apparent. From year to year, the number of heat waves increases, while cold weather periods become less. This indicates serious changes in climatic patterns that can have long -term consequences for agriculture, public health and ecology.
July heat
This week there is a peak of July heat in Ukraine. Only on July 18, the air temperature will decrease in Kiev, and in the rest of the regions, the decline is expected only after July 20. Such heat does not only jeopardize human health, but also leads to problems in agriculture, where high temperatures can reduce yields.
Temperature records
Since the beginning of July, 10 temperature records have been set in Kyiv, which indicates anomalous weather conditions. These data emphasize the importance of monitoring climate change and the need for adaptation activities to minimize their negative impact.
Increasing temperature in Ukraine is not only a local problem, but a part of a global phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Ukrainians should already prepare for the heat next year.
