Weather results of the calendar winter in the capital
According to the observations of the weather station of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, the average temperature over the winter was 0.3°C, which is 2.8°C above the climate norm. The calendar winter of 2023-2024 was the third warmest winter in Kyiv since 1881.
Much warmer than normal weather caused the onset of meteorological spring much earlier than usual - on January 24, when the air temperature steadily moved above 0°C, 37 days earlier than the long-term average.
All winter months in the capital were warmer than normal. February had the largest positive deviation - 5.2°C. In total, 14 temperature records were registered in the capital over the winter.
The coldest day of the winter was January 9, when the temperature dropped to -15.8°C, and the warmest was February 29, when the temperature rose to +12.1°C.
Precipitation this calendar winter amounted to 161 mm, which is 131% of the climate norm.

Weekly information on air pollution in Kyiv
According to observations at the stationary posts of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, from March 18 to 23, 2024, the average daily maximum permissible concentrations were exceeded in the air of Kyiv:
- sulfur dioxide - by 1.4-2.5 times on Bessarabska Square, Beresteyskyi and Obolonskyi avenues, Lesia Ukrainka Boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Academician Strazhesko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotko, Engineer Borodin, Kaunaska and Semen Skliarenko streets, except for 37 Nauky Avenue (near the weather site of the Observatory), where no exceedances were observed;
- nitrogen dioxide - by 3.1-4.0 times from March 21 to 23 on Beresteysky Avenue, Lesya Ukrainka Boulevard, Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka, and Inzhenera Borodina streets; by 3.2-4.4 times on Bessarabska Square, Kaunaska and Semena Skliarenka streets; by 1.1-2.8 times on Obolonsky and Nauky avenues, in the area of Hydropark, and Academician Strazhesko street;
- formaldehyde - by 2.9-3.0 times on March 21-22 in the area of Skliarenko Street; by 1.0-2.1 times on Bessarabska Square, Beresteysky and Obolonsky Avenues, Lesia Ukrainka Boulevard, in the area of Hydropark, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka and Kaunaska Streets.
A total of 1287 atmospheric air samples were collected and analyzed at 15 stationary posts of the observatory from March 18 to 23, 2024.
Compared to the previous week, the formaldehyde content in the air has slightly increased.
According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, last week was dominated by cyclonic weather, which contributed to the dispersion of most pollutants. However, this trend will change in the next 2-3 days, with warming, southerly winds and no precipitation expected, which will not contribute to the dispersion of impurities.

Weekly information on air pollution in Kyiv
According to observations at the stationary posts of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, from March 11 to 16, 2024, the average daily maximum permissible concentrations were exceeded in the air of Kyiv:
- Sulfur dioxide - by 1.5-2.5 times on Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Beresteyskyi and Obolonskyi avenues, Lesia Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Academician Strazhesko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotko, Engineer Borodin, Kaunaska and Semen Skliarenko streets, except for 37 Nauky Avenue (near the weather site of the Observatory), where no exceedances were observed;
- nitrogen dioxide - by 3.0-4.3 times on Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Lesia Ukrainka Boulevard, Kaunaska and Semena Skliarenka streets; by 1.0-2.9 times on Beresteysky, Obolonsky and Nauky avenues, in the area of Hydropark, Academician Strazhesko, Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka and Inzhenera Borodina streets;
- formaldehyde - by 1.0-1.9 times on Halytska and Bessarabska squares, Beresteyskyi and Obolonskyi avenues, Lesi Ukrainky boulevard, Akademika Strazheskoho, Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka, Kaunaska and Skliarenka streets.
A total of 1523 atmospheric air samples were collected and analyzed at 16 stationary posts of the observatory from March 11 to 16, 2024.
The content of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde in the air has decreased compared to the previous week.
According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, the weather pattern will change in the next 2-3 days: precipitation and a slight decrease in air temperature are possible, which will help reduce the concentration of pollutants in the surface layer of the atmosphere.

Weekly information on air pollution in Kyiv
According to observations at the stationary posts of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, from March 4 to 9, 2024, the average daily maximum permissible concentrations were exceeded in the air of Kyiv:
- Sulfur dioxide - by 1.6-2.5 times on Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Beresteyskyi and Obolonskyi avenues, Lesia Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Academician Strazhesko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotko, Inzhener Borodin, Kaunaska and Semen Skliarenko streets, except for 37 Nauky Avenue (near the weather site of the Observatory), where no exceedances were observed;

- formaldehyde - by 3.4 times on March 4 in the area of Semen Skliarenko Street; by 1.0-2.9 times on Halytska and Bessarabska Squares, Beresteysky, Obolonsky and Nauky Avenues, Lesia Ukrainka Boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Academician Strazhesko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka, Kaunaska Streets.
A total of 1524 atmospheric air samples were collected and analyzed at 16 stationary posts of the Observatory from March 4 to 9, 2024.
Compared to the previous week, the content of nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the air increased.
According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, last week was dominated by anticyclonic weather, without precipitation, with low winds, which contributed to an increase in the concentration of pollutants in the surface layer of the atmosphere, but in the next 2-3 days it will change to cyclonic, which will lead to a decrease in concentrations.

Weekly information on air pollution in Kyiv
According to observations at the stationary posts of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, from February 26 to March 2, 2024, the average daily maximum permissible concentrations were exceeded in the air of Kyiv:
- Sulfur dioxide - by 1.5-2.6 times on Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Beresteyskyi and Obolonskyi avenues, Lesia Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Academician Strazhesko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotko, Inzhener Borodin, Kaunaska and Semen Skliarenko streets, except for 37 Nauky Avenue (near the weather site of the observatory), where no exceedances were observed;

A total of 1464 atmospheric air samples were collected and analyzed at 16 stationary posts of the observatory from February 26 to March 2, 2024.
Compared to the previous week, the content of nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the air increased.
According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, the predominantly cyclonic weather pattern with no precipitation, rising air temperature and weak winds with a southerly component contributed to the increase in pollutant concentrations, but this weather pattern will change in the next 2-3 days.
