Kyiv — Weather today

Kyiv is in north central Ukraine, on both banks of the Dnipro River, among hills, ravines and broad green districts. A 24 hour forecast is useful here because summer thunderstorms, winter snow, river fog, ice and differences between open embankments, the city centre and forested outskirts can quickly affect plans.

Kyiv is usually classified as having a humid continental climate in the Koppen system (Dfb). Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 24-28°C (75-82°F), while winter is commonly about -6-1°C (21-34°F). Precipitation is possible all year, summer more often brings showers and thunderstorms, winter can bring lasting snow, frost and thaws, and spring and autumn change quickly.

Before visiting Saint Sophia Cathedral, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Andriivskyi Descent, Volodymyrska Hill Park or the Dnipro embankments, check temperature, wind, precipitation and visibility. The hourly forecast helps choose better times for squares, museums, parks, hills, bridges and evening routes through the centre.
