From Tuesday, we will also experience stronger winds, as the cyclone moves further away, strengthening and 'saying goodbye' with stronger winds on Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to meteorologist E. Latvėnaitė, a cyclone system over Scandinavia and Eastern Europe is bringing unfavorable weather to Lithuania. While these systems are slowly moving northeast, similar conditions will persist into the beginning of the week. "From Tuesday, we will also experience stronger winds, as the cyclone moves further away, strengthening and 'saying goodbye' with stronger winds on Tuesday and Wednesday," she explained. A "bubble" of cooler air is expected to remain over the Baltic and Eastern Europe, making it potentially warmer in Lapland than in Lithuania.

The forecast offers better news from Thursday onwards, with an anticyclone expected to expand from the south and southwest. This system promises drier and warmer weather. Monday will bring intermittent rain in many areas, with heavy downpours and thunderstorms possible. Winds will be southwesterly to westerly, reaching 7-12 m/s with gusts of up to 15 m/s. Temperatures will range from 13-18 degrees Celsius.
