Borzna (Ukrainian: Борзна, Ukrainian pronunciation: [bɔrzˈnɑ]; also referred to as Borsna), is an historic town in northern Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Borzna Raion (Borzna district) in Chernihiv Oblast. Population: 10,319 (2015 est.)
Looking at a map, one can easily locate Borzna in northeastern Ukraine. First, find the capital, Kiev. Go north a few miles up the Dnieper river to where the Desna River feeds into it. The Desna comes from the north where, at a city Chernihiv, it curves east. Along this course, where the river bulges southward, is Borzna. More specifically, it is located next to an international highway connecting Kiev and Moscow (E101). Chernihiv is about 100 km (62 mi) away. Borzna has no railway (the nearest railway stations being Doch (14 km or 9 mi) with north-south routes and Plysky (20 km or 12 mi) with west-east routes.
The city derives its name from the river it lies on, a tributary of the Desna.
Borzna has a humid continental climate (Koppen Dfb). The warmest months are June, July, and August, with mean temperatures of 19 °C (66 °F). The coldest are December, January, and February, with mean temperatures of −7 °C (19 °F). The highest ever temperature recorded in the town was 41.3 °C (106.3 °F) on July 2010. The coldest temperature ever recorded in the city was −35.9 °C (−32.6 °F) on January 1987. Snow cover usually lies from mid-November to the end of March, with the frost-free period lasting 180 days on average, but surpassing 200 days in recent years.
