Summer ends with rain and stormy weather ahead in Lithuania

Lithuania’s final calendar day of summer will remain warm, but unsettled weather is forecast to follow. Temperatures on Monday are expected to reach 21 to 26 degrees Celsius, with a greater chance of brief rain in western and northern districts.

Vilnius should see little chance of rain, with afternoon temperatures reaching 24 to 26 degrees. Winds will come from the southwest and south at 7 to 12 metres per second.

The first day of autumn will bring a cold atmospheric front across the country. Many areas can expect short, intense showers, with heavy rain and thunderstorms in some places. Temperatures will generally reach 17 to 20 degrees, with only isolated areas climbing to 21 or 22 degrees.

Rain will continue on Wednesday as a departing cyclone affects Lithuania, followed by another active cyclone from the west on Thursday. The western coast and Žemaitija could see heavy rain and thunderstorms, while coastal wind gusts may reach 15 to 17 metres per second.

The unsettled pattern is expected to continue on Friday and through the weekend. Nights will stay relatively warm, but cloudy and gloomy days will increasingly feel like autumn.
