Heatwave continues in Lithuania, with slight relief expected by Tuesday

Lithuania is bracing for a continuation of intense heat, with Sunday expected to bring temperatures between 31 and 36 degrees Celsius across much of the country. A light southerly wind will offer little respite from the oppressive warmth. The heat is forecast to intensify, particularly in the southwestern regions.

Monday will offer no immediate relief, as the heatwave is predicted to persist. Temperatures are expected to climb to 32-37 degrees Celsius in many areas. While some western parts of the country might experience slightly cooler conditions, ranging from 26 to 31 degrees Celsius, isolated thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon as cloud cover increases.

Overnight temperatures on Monday are also expected to remain high, with lows not falling below 18-23 degrees Celsius. The forecast indicates clear skies and dry conditions for most of the night, with minimal wind.

By Tuesday, a gradual shift is anticipated as the mass of hot air begins to move away. While clouds may increase slightly, and brief showers with thunderstorms are still possible in some areas during the day, temperatures are expected to decrease. Daytime highs are projected to be between 26 and 31 degrees Celsius, with the westernmost regions seeing temperatures between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius.
