The Hydrometeorological Center, via Proslav, forecasts that summer heat will retreat across Kyiv region on 19 August. Expect mostly cloudy skies with short, local rain showers and possible thunderstorms at night while daytime conditions should remain dry and comfortable. Across the region night temperatures are forecast near 9–14°C and daytime highs around 21–26°C; in Kyiv specifically, nights 12–14°C and days 23–25°C.
Winds will blow from the west at roughly 7–12 m/s. Night rain and gusts can briefly disturb tall crops and open-field vegetables, even if the day stays dry. The report advises gardeners to check supports for tomatoes, corn and sunflowers, gather ripe apples, pears and plums, and dry harvested fruit before storage to avoid rot.
After night rains, a light organic feeding of beds can help plant recovery, while ventilating greenhouses and inspecting for slugs and other pests is recommended. Readers should re-check local forecasts and warnings before making outdoor plans.
