Daytime temperatures will reach 19-22 degrees Celsius, with some southern areas potentially hitting 24 degrees.

Sunday will see similar conditions overnight, with clear skies and dry weather, though fog might appear in damper areas by morning. A new cyclone approaching from the west will bring stronger southerly and southeasterly winds, reaching 7-12 m/s. Eastern Lithuania will remain mostly sunny and dry, but western areas will see increasing clouds, with possible light rain near the coast by evening. This cyclone will usher in warmer air, pushing daytime temperatures to 22-27 degrees Celsius.
