"According to meteorological observations by Central Geophysical Observatory, the average daily record temperature on that day was beaten on Dec. 22. Thermometer readings rose to + 6.4 C or 1.5 C warmer than the previous historical temperature record set in 1971," a statement said. Given the weather forecast by Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, there is a high probability of breaking the maximum temperature in Kyiv on 23 December too.
