Lithuania Faces Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms, Meteorologists Warn

Lithuania is bracing for a period of unsettled weather, as meteorologists forecast significant rainfall and thunderstorms. The country will be under the influence of an old, occluded cyclone, placing it on the cyclone's southwestern edge. This weather pattern is expected to bring considerable cloud cover and short-lived rain showers to most parts of the country.

Western and southwestern winds will dominate, with speeds ranging from 8 to 13 meters per second. In coastal regions, particularly along the seaside, wind gusts could intensify, reaching between 15 and 18 meters per second. Despite the wind and rain, the highest daytime temperatures are not expected to be high, hovering between a cool 13 and 18 degrees Celsius. Overnight temperatures will be slightly cooler, ranging from 8 to 13 degrees Celsius.

The forecast for Wednesday indicates little change. Skies will remain cloudy with some sunny spells, and scattered rain is anticipated in many areas. The wind will persist from the west and northwest at a noticeable 8 to 13 meters per second. However, daytime temperatures are predicted to rise slightly, reaching a more pleasant 16 to 21 degrees Celsius. The persistent cloud cover is expected to prevent temperatures from dropping significantly overnight, keeping them between 8 and 13 degrees Celsius.
