| Abstract | The article provides data on the amount of atmospheric precipitation and air temperature from October 2023 to September 2024, as well as their analysis compared to the average long-term data (for 30 years from 1991 to 2020). This agricultural year was marked by dry conditions with insufficient precipitation and an increased temperature background with long periods of summer heat. The average annual air temperature from October 2023 to September 2024 was 3 °C higher than the average long-term and was 11.8 °C. Under such conditions, during the cold period from November 2023 to March 2024, the monthly temperature increase was from 1.8 to 6.5 °C, and during the warm period from April to September 2024, it was from 2.2 to 5.2 °C, with the exception of May, when it was 0.1 °C cooler. The total amount of precipitation for the agricultural year was 98.8 mm less than the average long-term indicators and amounted to 487.2 mm (83 % of the norm). The average air temperature for the winter was 1.3°C warmer, which is 3.8°C above the climate norm. The spring of 2024 was record warm, with an air temperature that was 3.3°C above the norm, early and prolonged (with a cold second decade of May). It was marked by excessive precipitation in March and April (68.7 mm above normal) and insignificant precipitation in May (10.2 mm below normal). The summer weather regime with temperatures above +15 °C began a day earlier than usual on May 18. The summer of 2024 turned out to be hot (15 days with heat up to 35 °C and 31 days with temperatures above 30 °C) with an average air temperature for the season of 22.9 °C, which is 2.9 °C above normal. The total amount of precipitation for June-August 2024 was 26 mm less than normal and amounted to 92.1 mm (47% of the norm). September 2024 was abnormally warm and dry. The maximum air temperature of the first decade reached 32 °C (the upper soil layer warmed up to 54 °C), and in the third decade of the month the minimum temperature was 6 °C (4 °C on the soil surface). Atmospheric precipitation in the form of torrential rains was observed for six days and totaled 12 mm (19% of the norm). | ||
