Best Time to Visit Ukraine.
Blessed with exceptionally fortunate geographical location, access to two seas and a part of the mountain chain, Ukraine is a place where any type of vacation can happen. Unlike the countries where you can’t notice a big difference between summer and spring or winter and fall, climate in Ukraine shows very distinct four seasons. As a Ukrainian who tries to get the most out of every season here in Ukraine, I will try to show you the best way and time to experience the wonders of my country. Enjoy!
Spring
Weather. March is rather cold: 5 - 10 °C. April and May: 15 - 24 °C.
Why spring: Second half of the spring is the most popular season for tours to main sightseeing attractions. The temperature is perfect for long walks and recreational activities. The spring season in Ukraine is the time for various cultural and music festivals, grand concerts and sport events. It is a great season for hiking and camping.
Where to go: Uzhgorod, Uman, Lviv, Chernihiv, Kyiv.
What to see: I would recommend visiting one of the numerous spring festivals in Ukraine, like Sakura Festival in Uzhgorod City or Retro Lviv Festival. Moreover, many Ukrainian cities celebrate their birthdays in spring, e.g. Kyiv and Lviv. Such celebrations are always fun to take part in. If you are not a big fan of crowded events, consider avoiding long holidays in the beginning of May.
What to be aware of: The weather in the first half of the spring does not scream “let’s go for a walk!”. But it can be a great opportunity for ski lovers to go on a late vacation to one of the ski resorts in Carpathians.
Summer
Weather. 25 - 36 °C
Why summer: Summer is a perfect sea vacation time. Luckily, Ukraine has access to not one but two seas: the Black Sea and the Azov Sea. Dozens of seaside resorts offer their services for any taste and budget. If you prefer quality leisure time in the woods and mountains rather than on the beach, Ukraine has beautiful resorts in Carpathian Mountains. They offer recreational activities for outgoing people like horse riding, hiking, rock climbing, SPA etc.
Where to go: Odessa, Kherson, Truskavets, Bukovel.
What to see: Big cities like Odessa can offer almost any kind of fun or relaxing pastime. Nightclubs, restaurants and parks in the city and quite resorts outside the city limits. By the way, Odessa region has a historical Bilhorod-Dnister Fortress which becomes a scene for an annual Medieval Festival. If your goal is to improve your health condition or get a first-class SPA treatments, I would recommend one of SPA resorts in Western regions of Ukraine.
What to be aware of: It can get pretty hot in summer which is great for the beach vacation but can be a drawback for a sightseeing tour.
Fall
Weather. September is commonly warm: 20 - 15 °C. October/November: 10 - 5 °C.
Why fall: First half of the fall is warm and full of sunny days. It becomes a bit to cold for a beach, but just right for hiking, sightseeing tours and outside activities. Fall is the time for Cheese and Wine Festivals in many Ukrainian cities which can be a long-awaited opportunity to go for a gourmet trip.
Where to go: Ternopil, Lviv, Bila Tserkva, Chernivtsi, Carpathian mountains.
What to see: October is a great time to visit amazing park zones like Arboretum Sofiyivka in Uman or the Oleksandriya Park near the Bila Tserkva City. They look especially amazing with colorful trees: the walk can take all day. If you are a fan of extreme sports, I would recommend rafting tours in September (Pivdennyi Buh River). A castle-seaking tour around Ternopil or Lviv can be a lifetime experience. The best way is to rent a car or get a guided tour.
What to be aware of: Starting from October, the weather can change quickly and bring heavy rains. A sturdy umbrella and a rain boots can deal with the problem easily.
Winter
Weather: 0 - -15 °C.
Why winter: Of course, winter is the best time for winter sports and vacations that include skiing, sleigh riding and cozy relaxing in warm cabins. Ukrainian winter is commonly snowy and on the verge of being soft. Sometimes it can get really chilly here, and I’m talking about -24 °C, but most of the time it is comfy -10 °C with crispy snow ready to be played with.
Where to go: Carpathians, Dykanka, Kam'yanets'-Podil's'kyi
What to see: If your goal is to have a great vacation with skis, sleighs and snowboard - check out one of the Ukrainian Skis resorts: Bukovel, Yaremche or Slavs'ke. As for the winter festive experience, I would recommend visiting Ukraine around Christmas time. Catholic Christmas is widely and beautifully celebrated in Western regions while Eastern and Central Ukraine hold amazing celebrations for the orthodox Christmas.

SUMMARY
=======
A tumulus (plural tumuli) is a mound of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves. Tumuli are also known as barrows, burial mounds or kurgans, and may be found throughout much of the world. A cairn, which is a mound of stones built for various purposes, may also originally have been a tumulus.
Tumuli are often categorised according to their external apparent shape. In this respect, a long barrow is a long tumulus, usually constructed on top of several burials, such as passage graves. A round barrow is a round tumulus, also commonly constructed on top of burials. The internal structure and architecture of both long and round barrows has a broad range, the categorization only refers to the external apparent shape.
The method of inhumation may involve a dolmen, a cist, a mortuary enclosure, a mortuary house, or a chamber tomb. Examples of barrows include Duggleby Howe and Maeshowe.
The word tumulus is Latin for 'mound' or 'small hill', which is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *teuh2- with extended zero grade *tum-, 'to bulge, swell' also found in tumor, thumb, thigh, and thousand.
