Cyclone Cerry approaches Lithuania with forecasts of heavy rain and thunderstorms

Lithuania is bracing for the arrival of Cyclone Cerry, a system expected to bring significant weather changes starting Saturday night. Meteorologists predict the cyclone will first reach the southern parts of the country, with rain clouds moving into western regions by Saturday morning and spreading across Lithuania throughout the day. The afternoon is anticipated to bring heavier rainfall, thunderstorms, and stronger gusts of wind, with a possibility of hail, especially in areas where temperatures remain high.

As Cerry moves through the Baltic region, it is expected to strengthen. While Saturday night may offer a calmer, warmer period in the cyclone's eastern section, the daytime will see increased precipitation and potential for severe weather. The forecast indicates that southern and central Lithuania are most likely to experience the brunt of the storm's intensity, including thunder and strong winds. Temperatures are expected to be warm, potentially exacerbating the conditions during thunderstorms.

The weather is forecast to remain unsettled into the following week. Sunday will see the cyclone move northeastward, with intermittent rain and weaker thunderstorms. However, another rainy cyclone is predicted to arrive on Monday, bringing more substantial downpours, thunder, and increasing winds, particularly in western coastal areas. The week is expected to become cooler as air masses from the north and northwest move in, with temperatures potentially dropping further by Tuesday and Wednesday.
