  • Long-range forecasts suggest Lithuania could receive up to one-third more precipitation than average this September.
  • Meteorologist Gytis Valaika said the month could become the country's wettest September since 2017, after relatively dry Septembers from 2018 to 2025.

Lithuania's unusually wet summer may be followed by an exceptionally rainy September. Long-range forecasts cited by Orai ir klimatas Lietuvoje, based on Meteo LT data, suggest precipitation could reach one-third above the 1991 to 2020 average.

Meteorologist Gytis Valaika said September rainfall levels during the 1991 to 2020 period were higher than in recent years. Septembers from 2018 through 2025 did not stand out for heavy precipitation, so this year's month could become the wettest since 2017.

Western Lithuania may receive especially large amounts of rain. Residents' photographs have already illustrated how wet conditions are becoming. In Raseiniai district, a resident recorded heavy precipitation on Saturday morning and wrote: “Does anyone want some rainwater? It is no longer funny for us. Overnight.”

Does anyone want some rainwater? It is no longer funny for us. Overnight.
