Climate Chart of Kyiv, Ukraine

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean is in January, at -3.2 °C; this describes the month’s average temperature, not a typical daytime high or the conditions on every day. Monthly means reach their peak in both July / August at 21.0 °C, giving a useful indication of the warmest part of the annual pattern without specifying daily extremes. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 9.3 °C. It summarizes the monthly averages rather than a day-weighted annual mean, and it does not capture day-to-day variability.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in both May / July at 2.22 mm/day. This is a daily mean, not a monthly accumulation, and it does not show how often rain falls or guarantee wet weather on a particular date. The lowest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in January, at 0.55 mm/day. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.33 mm/day; neither figure describes the timing or frequency of individual showers.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in December, at 6.54 mm/day; the unweighted mean of the monthly daily-snowfall means is 2.14 mm/day. These figures describe average amounts, not the number of snowy days, snow depth or snow cover, so they cannot establish whether snow will be present during a visit.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest level in June, at 12.76 hours/day, while the lowest is in December, at 2.04 hours/day. These averages can help set expectations for daylight outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine-duration means is 7.42 hours/day per day. It is a broad summary, not a promise of clear conditions on a given day.
