The forecaster warns: cyclones will enter Lithuania – stormy weather awaits

“Lithuania will be heavily watered on Monday, thunderstorms will occur, strong gusts of wind will blow in, and in the south-western and southern regions during the day, ice grains may be sprinkled. The culprit will be a cyclone named Gulla traveling through Lithuania from the west.

On Tuesday night, Gulla will continue to rain for a long time, and during the day it will already move to the east. An anticyclone is strengthening from the north, through Scandinavia, and it will take the place of a cyclone with drier and colder weather.

Later, after merging with the western anticyclone, almost all of Europe will be covered for a short time. The weather will also be “unfriendly”, especially for nature – it will threaten with frosts, not only on the surface of the soil, but also in the air”, says E. Latvėnaitė.

A cyclone traveling from the north may reach Lithuania during the weekend, which will lead to cool and unpleasant weather with rain, places and another wet snowfall. True, although it will be quite cool, frost is not expected on those days.
