| Abstract | The article provides data on the amount of atmospheric precipitation and air temperature from October 2024 to September 2025, as well as their analysis compared to the average long-term data (for 30 years - from 1991 to 2020). The current 2024–2025 agricultural year was marked by an average air temperature of 10 °C, which was 1.2 °C higher than the multi-year value. According to the analysis of the conditions of the cold period (November 2024 – March 2025), the total temperature increase was 12.6 °C with monthly indicators from 2.2 to 5.5 °C. During the warm period (April - September 2025), it was only 1.4 °C due to a decrease of 2.3 and 0.4 °C in May and August. The total amount of precipitation, in the form of rain of varying intensity, drizzle and snow, was 20.8 mm less than the average multi-year indicator – 565.2 mm. Of these, during the cold period from October 2024 to March 2025, 102% of the norm, or 238.2 mm, was recorded, and during the warm period from April to September 2025, their amount was 93% of the norm, or 327 mm. In the fall of 2024, abnormally warm and excessively rainy weather was observed in October. The average air temperature for the month was 10.8 °C, which is 2.5 °C above the climatic norm. The most precipitation fell in the first and second decades, when 42.4 and 56.9 mm were recorded, or three to four times more than the norm. In general, the spring of 2025 was marked by unstable weather: after a dry and unusually warm March, three cold waves were observed in wet April, which led to prolonged frosts (up to 6 °C below zero), and prolonged and intense precipitation was observed in cool May. The summer of 2025 turned out to be cold and dry. The average air temperature for the season was 20.4 °C, therefore it was within the normal range. The maximum air temperature on July 7 and 9 rose to 38 °C, and there were 17 days with a temperature of 30 °C and above. The minimum air temperature decreased on June 11 to 9 °C. The total amount of precipitation was less than normal and amounted to 146.5 mm (74% of the norm). The daily maximum precipitation on July 28 was 43 mm, or 63% of the monthly norm. The heat supply of the growing season (sum of effective temperatures) as of October 30 exceeded the average multi-year values by 195, 111 and 148 °C and was, respectively: above +5 – 2418 (norm 2223) °C; above +10 – 1371 (norm 1260) °C; above +15 – 648 (norm 500) °C. | ||
