Tips for summer residents and drivers
- For summer residents: Many people are worried when it gets warmer in Ukraine enough to work in the garden. Don’t rush It’s still critically early to plant heat-loving seedlings (tomatoes, peppers) in open ground at the beginning and middle of the month – there is still a high risk of night frosts. Do this closer to May, when the ground warms up to at least +10°C.
- For drivers: Although the sun is already scorching hot during the day, changing to summer tires in the first decade of April is still risky. Morning frosts can make roads slippery. Wait for stable average daily temperatures at +7°C (approximately immediately after Easter).
Folk signs about April weather
Our ancestors carefully monitored changes in nature, because the harvest depended on it.
They say: “April with water is May with grass .” Abundant spring rains mean that the earth will be well saturated with moisture, and the summer will be generous.
It is also believed that if thunder rumbles in early April, the summer will be warm and nutty, and if birds build nests on the sunny side of trees, the spring will be cool.
If it is bright and sunny on Easter, they say no one has sinned greatly and has angered God; if it is cloudy or raining, then people have sinned and God is angry.
