Lithuania is bracing for a week of unpredictable weather, with temperatures dropping and rainfall becoming more frequent, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of early autumn. While the beginning of the week will be marked by cooler, wetter conditions, forecasters predict a warming trend towards the weekend.

For the next 24 hours, the weather in Lithuania will be influenced by a southern cyclone moving across Belarus.

โ€” Teresฤ— Kaunienฤ—The synoptician from the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service described the immediate weather forecast.

The current weather patterns are influenced by a southern cyclone moving across Belarus. Tuesday night will see clouds with clear spells, but rain will begin in the southern part of the country, extending to most of southeastern Lithuania. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible in some areas, while the northwest will experience only scattered, brief showers and some fog. Winds will remain light across the country. Daytime temperatures will range from 16 to 21 degrees Celsius.

As the cyclone moves away on Wednesday, rainfall is expected to decrease, with only localized, short-lived showers predicted for both night and day. Overnight temperatures will drop to 8โ€“13 degrees Celsius, reaching up to 14โ€“16 degrees in coastal areas. The wind will pick up from the southwest and south, with gusts reaching 7โ€“12 meters per second. Afternoon temperatures are expected to be between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius.

In some places, it will rain heavily, and thunderstorms are possible.

Rainy weather will not leave Lithuania yet.
