First Summer Day in Palanga: Some Hide in Jackets, Others Sunbathe on the Beach

The first day of summer in Palanga, Lithuania, brought a dramatic change in weather, with temperatures soaring and attracting people to the beach. Photographer Aldas Kazlauskas shared images of the seaside resort, noting that the sudden warmth finally allowed sun-seeking visitors to enjoy the coast.

After a cool period leading up to June 1st, the weather "flipped completely" as the calendar summer began. Palanga experienced 19 degrees Celsius on Monday, with pleasant warmth along the coast. The forecast indicates this favorable weather will continue throughout the week, with temperatures expected to reach 21 degrees Celsius on Friday and around 18-19 degrees on the weekend.
