According to observations by the weather station of the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory, on November 18, the air temperature in Kyiv dropped to -0.2°C for the first time this fall, signaling the end of the frost-free period that had lasted since March 31. 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 this year. The previous record in 2022, which lasted 225 days, lasted only a year.
Despite the fact that winter has already reminded us of itself, its official beginning will take place when the average daily air temperature steadily goes below 0°C. The average date of such a transition in Kyiv is November 29.
