No Step Without an Umbrella: Warmer Weather Will Have to Wait

Residents of Lithuania should prepare for a week of unsettled weather, with rain and thunderstorms expected across the country. The forecast indicates a highly variable pattern, with intermittent sunshine interspersed with cloud cover and short-lived showers, particularly in the northern and eastern regions.

Temperatures will fluctuate, reaching highs of 17-22 degrees Celsius on Monday. However, a cooling trend is anticipated as the week progresses. By Tuesday, a warm front will bring more widespread rain, with daytime temperatures struggling to climb above 16-19 degrees Celsius. Wednesday is set to be particularly damp and gloomy, with persistent, heavy rain and strong winds gusting up to 20 m/s, and even higher in coastal areas.

Towards the end of the week, Thursday and Friday will see the weather dictated by the western edge of a cyclone. While there may be more breaks in the clouds, showers will remain frequent and intense, with a possibility of thunderstorms. Winds will continue to be brisk, coming from the northwest. Despite the continued rain, temperatures on Friday afternoon could reach 18-23 degrees Celsius in shaded areas.

The upcoming weekend offers a glimmer of hope, with a gradual improvement in weather conditions expected. While rain is still likely, there should be more sunshine, calmer winds, and a return of summer warmth.
