Climate in Bukovel Ski Resort region

The unique geography, close proximity to the mountains and the location 585 m above sea level determine the unique climatic features of the location. Polyanytsya village, where Bukovel Ski Resort is located, is influenced with several air currents at once. It is dominated by continental and sea air masses of temperate latitudes, but sometimes the Hutsul pearl can be covered with arctic air masses. This results in mild and very snowy winters, minimizing the likelihood of severe weather conditions. The climate in Yaremche itself can be described as very humid and mild with a lot of sunny days a year. Most of the rain falls in spring and summer.

Due to the fact that the location occupies the territory with the varied relief (river valleys, slopes, hollows), each of the sites has a unique local climate. In closed basins, one can observe such a phenomenon as temperature inversion. Heavy cold air masses are trapped here. It is noteworthy that the cool summer itself, with an elevation of every 100 m, comes 8-10 days later, and ends 4-6 days earlier. Snow cover on the tops of the mountains can remain until mid-June.

The warmest month in the region is July, when the average temperature rises to +19 - +20 ° C in the foothills and +8 - +10 ° C in the highlands, the coldest month is January, when the thermometer drops to -4 / - 6 ° C and -8 / -9 ° C accordingly.
