===Climate===

Under the [[Köppen climate classification|Köppen–Geiger climate classification system]], Dnipro has a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfa'').<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal |author1=Peel, M.

The city has four distinct seasons: a cold, snowy winter; a hot summer; and two relatively wet transition periods. However, according to other schemes (such as the Salvador Rivas-Martínez bioclimatic one), Dnipro has a Supratemperate bioclimate, and belongs to the Temperate xeric steppic thermoclimatic belt, due to high [[evapotranspiration]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalbioclimatics.org/form/maps.htm |title=Bioclimatic & Biogeographic Maps of Europe |last=Rivas-Martínez |first=Salvador |year=2004 |publisher=University of León |access-date=1 May 2017 |archive-date=17 May 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170517211604/http://www.globalbioclimatics.org/form/maps.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

During the summer, Dnipro is very warm (average day temperature in July is {{cvt|24|to|28|C}}, even hot sometimes {{cvt|32|to|36|C}}). Temperatures as high as {{cvt|36|C|0}} have been recorded in May. Winter is not so cold (average day temperature in January is {{cvt|-4|to|0|C}}, but when there is no snow and the wind blows hard, it feels extremely cold. A mix of snow and rain happens usually in December.

The best time for visiting the city is in late spring (late April and May), and early in autumn: September, October, when the city's trees turn yellow. Other times are mainly dry with a few showers.<ref>See also: [http://www.klimadiagramme.de/Europa/dnepropetrovsk.html klimadiagramme.de] – Climate in Dnipropetrovsk URL accessed on 20 March 2007</ref>
