The frost-free period is over in the capital
According to the observations of the meteorological station of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, on November 5, for the first time this fall, the air temperature in Kyiv dropped to -2.1ºС, which indicates the end of the frost-free period that lasted from April 21 - 198 days in total. The average long-term date of the first frost in the air is October 21, and the duration of the frost-free period is 197 days.
Climatologists at the observatory inform that the shortest frost-free periods in the capital were in 1902 and 1945 - only 144 days, and the record longest - 232 days - was recorded in 2023.
Despite the fact that winter has already reminded us of itself, its official beginning will take place when the average daily air temperature steadily passes through 0°C and goes down. The average date of such a transition in Kyiv is November 29.
