Although weather forecasts at the beginning of May promised a breakthrough in heat, weather forecaster Elvyra Latvėnaitė reports that we will still have to wait for true spring softness - instead of warmth, Lithuania will be hit by wind, clouds, and rain.
The anticyclonic system Simone II and III, which will remain over Central and Southeastern Europe with calm, slightly warmer, but dry weather, will have almost no impact on Lithuania. Our country will be hit by a completely different air mass – the more humid and turbulent cyclone system Lorenz and Klaus, which has established itself over the eastern Baltic and Eastern and Northeastern Europe.
"Later, these cyclones will expand to the south and southwest, so Lithuania will remain in the turbulent, often windy part of the cyclone system this week and perhaps even at the beginning of next week," explains the forecaster.
This night will be a little calmer, but it will be chilly. And already on Tuesday The Lorenz cyclone valley will reach Lithuania with clouds from atmospheric fronts. Finally, the thirsty land will receive more rain.
After how long? warmer days on Tuesday and Wednesday, those of Thursday Cooler air will flow again with northern air currents. Over the weekend and early next week The weather should be a little warmer, but the heat will be tempered by strong winds and overcast, cloudy skies during the day.
"Only at night will these weather disasters save us from frost," notes Latvėnaitė.
In short, nature will finally bring the truly long-awaited precipitation - mostly rain. Night frosts, mainly on the soil surface, may still occur until the weekend, but should then subside.
However, We'll have to wait for more pleasant warm days, at least for now..
