L'viv is a regional centre in Ukraine, one of its largest, oldest, and most beautiful cities. The old part of the city was founded at the High Castle in the middle of the 13th century (1256). The founder of L'viv, Danilo Galitsky, built the castle-fortress and named it after his son Leo. The city played a great role in defending the western borders. For more than five centuries the Western Ukrainian region including ancient L'viv, remained under Polish and Austro-Hungarian rule. L'viv has many beautiful parks and gardens. Stryisky park is one of the best, not only in L'viv, but in Europe, as well.Now L'viv is a large industrial centre. The products of Lviv plants and factories are known all over the world.
The weather in August is very nice. It is not as hot as in July, but still very sunny. There are less rainy and cloudy days during August than during July or June. However, when we have rain, it lasts only for few hours, but it is very heavy and sometimes we can even get flooded areas. The water in the rivers and lakes is warm enough to swim. We do not get much wind during sunny and warm days, but there is wind when it rains here. Also, there are not any foggy days in August. There are only few days in a month that are cloudy. Most days are sunny, even if we have rain.
