Hot air and a cyclone approach Lithuania: What to expect this week?

Lithuania is set for a significant weather shift this week, moving from drier conditions to a more active pattern influenced by a cyclone. The early part of the week will remain relatively dry, with only isolated showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday, primarily in western and southwestern areas. Eastern regions may see no rain at all. Temperatures will gradually rise as warmer air moves in from the south.

By Friday, the weather system is expected to bring more substantial rainfall, particularly to the western, southwestern, and southern parts of the country. These areas could experience heavier downpours and thunderstorms over the weekend. The western coastal regions might also see fog developing after the rain.

Above most of Europe, a system of lower atmospheric pressure – wetter cyclones – is expanding, while a drier anticyclone has stalled to our east. Until Friday, Lithuania will be at the junction of these two systems, determining different weather conditions.

Looking ahead to the following week, initial forecasts suggest a brief return to less rainy conditions with cooler temperatures as winds shift to the west. However, this change is anticipated to be short-lived before potentially more unsettled weather returns.

From Friday, not only a wetter cyclone will move closer to the Baltics from the west, but warmer air will also flow from the south. So, on Friday and the weekend, according to current data, rain will be more frequent and heavier, sometimes with thunderstorms.
