The zone of meteorological instability has significantly increased and now encompasses a whole range of regions. In the afternoon of July 19, moderate, and in some places significant, rains with thunderstorms will affect all western regions, as well as Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia regions.
Additionally, the element will partially affect the central and southern regions. It will rain intensely in some areas of Kyiv, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, and Odesa regions, where hail may also occur in isolated districts.
