According to the forecaster, the anticyclones that brought summer joys are already weakening, but dry and warm weather will continue in the coming days.
“[Anticiklonai] we will be surrounded from all sides by wetter cyclones, which, whether we like it or not, will not visit us for the time being, so we will have almost no rain. Maybe it will rain a little on Sunday and Monday”, says E. Latvėnaitė.
At the beginning of next week, another anticyclone will strengthen from the north, from arctic latitudes. It will expand across Scandinavia towards the Baltic region and bring cooler air currents.
“The weather will cool down, in the worst case it will even threaten frost, the air is weak, the soil is already good on the surface. Northern, northeastern and eastern districts will suffer the most. So far, this is the worst version of the forecast,” reports the forecaster.
“The second half of the week should already be a bit warmer, with rain at intervals,” adds E. Latvėnaitė.

Climatologist Arūnas Bukantis answered in the show “Dienos komentaras” whether the summer heat has come for a long time or is it just temporary spring pranks.
According to the climatologist, we will not enjoy the 25-27 degree heat for long, as the air temperature will start to drop on Friday.
“We are now under the influence of an anticyclone in the East, with heat coming from the South along its western edge, and then this anticyclone should merge with the Scandinavian anticyclone.
Then we will come under the influence of a colder air flow and winds will prevail not from the east, but also from the northeast. As a result, it can be predicted that the temperature will be significantly lower from Saturday. If now we have even about 25 degrees during the day, then later the temperature will be between 12-18 degrees and such cooling will be quite long-lasting”, said A. Bukantis.
According to preliminary data, the temperature will be different: it will be higher in the south, and it will not differ significantly from the rest of the country on the coast.
“Since the wind will be from the northeast, there should be pleasant weather on the coast, like in the whole of Lithuania, but the nights will be cooler,” clarified the climatologist.
In addition, overnight frosts are expected on the soil surface, which may occur on Saturday or Sunday nights.
“That cooling is quite long-term, in practice, if we divide the whole month of May into weeks, then the 2nd and 3rd weeks of May are expected to be cooler,” said A. Bukantis.
In the long term, the kind of heat waves that are happening now are not foreseen. In the coming days, the temperature will be 24-27 degrees, then it will drop to 12-13, and already from mid-May – 17-18 degrees.
“Let’s not forget the overall weather condition this spring – such a fun roller coaster: it’s +25, it’s +5 and it’s been like that for the whole month of April. It can be said that such trends will inevitably continue in May.
The first days are warm, then a couple of weeks are cooler, well, and in the second half of May, around the 20th, the temperature should start to rise again and reach 20-25 degrees during the day”, said A. Bukantis
