Winter in Ukraine is likely to be relatively mild: air temperatures this season may be slightly higher than the climate norm. This comes from a forecast by Ukraine's meteorological center, reported by the news outlet Ukrainska Pravda on 23 October 2026.

The climate norm is the long-term average temperature for a given season. The forecast therefore suggests the winter could turn out warmer than usual.

Forecasters stress, however, that a mild-winter outlook does not guarantee an absence of cold weather. Frosts this season cannot be ruled out, so residents and utility services should keep that possibility in mind.

The source gives no further details on specific months, regions or expected temperature values.
