Climate Chart of Kharkiv, Ukraine

Climate overview

Temperature

The annual temperature pattern spans from a winter low of -3.9 °C for the monthly mean in January to a summer high of 22.4 °C in August. These are monthly averages, not daytime highs or lows, so they do not show the full range visitors may experience on individual days. The unweighted mean across monthly temperature means is 9.5 °C. For travel planning, the monthly extrema offer a useful guide to the broad contrast through the year, but not a forecast for a particular visit.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration peaks at 12.83 hours/day in June, a useful reference for visitors prioritising sunshine for outdoor plans. It records average sunshine duration, not day length, and does not promise clear skies throughout a visit. At the other end of the annual pattern, the mean daily sunshine duration is 1.69 hours/day in December. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine means is 7.56 hours/day; neither figure describes the conditions on a specific day.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in January, at 0.55 mm/day, which may suit visitors who prioritise lower average rainfall when choosing dates. This is a daily mean, not a monthly total, and it does not indicate how often rain falls or guarantee dry weather. The highest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in May, at 1.96 mm/day. Visitors planning around this period can bring rain-ready clothing and keep plans flexible; the average alone cannot predict conditions on any particular day. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.28 mm/day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly value in January, at 7.76 mm/day. This recorded mean establishes neither the number of snowy days nor snow depth or snow cover, so it cannot determine whether conditions will suit snow-dependent activities. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-snowfall means is 2.34 mm/day. Treat this as an average snowfall measure rather than a monthly total or a description of conditions on the ground.
